Can a "raised bump" on the face be something dangerous? (Photo)

Doctor's Answer

Thank you for the question. There are many causes of a raised bump on the face. These include an acne cyst, inflamed epidermal cyst, or abscess.

If this is due to an underlying infection, this can be dangerous as it can potentially spread quickly.

It is best to see your doctor or dermatologist for a proper assessment. A thorough history and physical examination will be needed to make an accurate assessment of the cause.
