No, I have not seen a doctor.

It does not hurt, and there is no discomfort. Someone at work told me about a topical sauve you can apply.

without knowing what this lump could be, it's difficult to answer this questions. with that said I'm make an assumption that it could be an acne cyst. There are various acne treatments available which could be helpful. but in cases of cysts you are better of seeing a dematologist.

He may suggest some stronger medications or antibiotics such as accutane or minocycline.

 good luck.

I think it would be more appropriate to first ascertain the tissue or organ of origin of the lump before attempting to do anything. So pal what you need is prefferably a CT scan or atlest a X-ray/ ultrasound to check the nature of the swelling. Without this it may be little dicey to do any thing. Any way what was the cause of the lump to begin with? ie is it post traumatic, then it may be a calcified haematoma(blood collection).

So the take home message is to see a doctor.

regards
