I’ve had this bump for years. It use to be dime size and a lot less prominent so I wasn’t too worried about it as doc said it’s just cosmetic. now that it’s getting to the size in photo, it’s definitely time to get it taken care of. Dermatologist says it’s a cyst or a nodule but I just cannot bring myself to pay $1000 to get this removed, with a scar, and no guarantee it won’t come back, without checking here first. Has anyone had anything like this before? Were you able to get rid of it?

I’d love to hear your thoughts and insights.
