Let me get this straight ... you've had this growth on your face for four years and you think it might be cancer ... and you want reassurance from a bunch of strangers on Yahoo!Answers?\n\nAre you trying to win a Darwin Award?

It's a cyst that requires a doctor to lance the area & remove it.  I had one on my back once from acne that I thought had cleared up on its own.  I had crappy insurance then like you do now.  Just make an appointment, be specific about the visit & go.  Most doctor's offices will work out payments with you if you have any co-pays.

It sounds like it may be a planters wart. If so you will have to see a doctor to have it cut out. Good luck.

I would go see a health professional to see if it is an STD , but it doesn't sound like it from the description . It may be a discoloration of the skin and in that case you may be able to get help from the doctor to treat it . Best of luck .

Could be an enlarged lymph node.  You have these all long your jaw line and your neck, some people have more than others.  I had one that became enlarged, about the size of a pea, same as yours, and it freaked me out so I had a doctor look at it.  He said that lymph nodes get bigger and smaller, most of the time without us even noticing.  It can be a sign that you are fighting an illness (such as a virus) or nothing at all.  I discovered that it was nothing to worry about.  Hope this is the case for you!

The chances are the lesion is benign- intraduct papilloma or some other benign lesion. Depending on your age. My suggestion is to go see a doctor; usually a fine needle aspiration which is almost painless will clarify the issue.\n\nKuris, MD

You may just have an irritation from a new shampoo or soap. If not you may just have an ingrown hair follicle, which could lead to a zit. I wouldn't worry too much, if it's not gone in about a week then I would go get it checked out, or if it keeps getting larger.

Have it checked out.  Could be a benign tumor called lipoma.  It is just a fatty tumor and can be easily removed.

OMG get yourself to a doctor quickly!!!!\nAny unexplainable lump or bump should be looked at as soon as possible. \nI don't want to scare you, but don't waste time asking on here, get yourself to a doctor and be reassured by someone who really knows what they are doing.

Have you had it examined by a doctor? Is this something you've had for a long time or did you just notice it? If it's something recent, have it checked right away it could be signs of something more serious. \n\nI would say this about any medical problem.

If it's been that long and it hasn't gone away, it's probably infected.  You should go to the doctor to have them take a look.

Sounds a lot like razor burn, but if there's a chance it's an STD, you should get it checked out by a doctor.

It's scary to think about asking a doctor to look at it but that's what you need to do.  That way you will be able to get past the fear and worry you're experiencing.  I'd talk to my parents first.  Tell them that you are a virgin and in a way that makes this little wart like thing even scarier.  \n\nSomething similar happened to my daughter only it's was a knot or lump she had on the back of her leg about the size of a dime.  She was so frightened that she didn't tell me about it for over a year.  Instead she worried and worried that it might be cancer until it became almost an obsession.  Finally she told me, I took her to the doctor and it look him about 15 seconds to relieve her fears.  It was nothing just some harmless thickened tissue.\n\nYou'll feel so much better.\n\nTake care,\nAmy

I DON'T WANNA SCARE YOU AND TELL YOU THAT IT MIGHT BE CANCER BECAUSE AS SOON AS WE HEAR THE WORD LUMP THAT'S WHAT WE ALL START TO THINK. IT COULD BE A ULCER, OR IT COULD BE ANYTHING NONE OF US HAVE GIVING YOU X-RAY'S SO THERE FORE WE WOULD NOT KNOW TRY AND GET SOME X-RAYS BECAUSE THIS CAN SEE YOUR ORGANS AND INSIDE OF YOUR BONES. THEN YOU WILL KNOW WHAT THE REAL PROBLEM IS AND YOU CAN TAKE IT FROM THERE. I HOPE THAT YOU FEEL BETTER AND MY BEST WISHES ARE WITH YOU.
