I've looked everywhere. I am going to see a DERM this thursday, but until then, I want to know what people here think.




3 years ago, I had a huge bump near my cheek. I never had cystic acne. just minor acne that would be red, then i'd pop them, etc. nothing major.



But 3 years ago, this was a huge bump unlike anything i ever have had. i could not pop it, and it hurt. after 1 months, the swelling/bump went down, and it didnt hurt anymore.


the bump felt like an "air" bump and did not hurt. it matched the color of my skin (white, but not pale). and it pulsated. like it was a heart or something(i know, gross and wierd).


3 years later , i still have this bump and it still pulsates.



any idea what this most likely is?

I don't know if lymphoma pulsates.

Lymphoma would be extreme I think, but it wouldn't hurt check.

could be a staph infection, especially if it pulsates and hasn't disappeared after three years. You could also have MRSA, the bacteria that is very resistant to antibiotics.
