Probably a small sebaceous cyst you see. They happen sometimes, and are best left alone. Most of the time they don't do much of anything except sit there. If it starts getting bigger or it bugs you, the doctor can sometimes drain it or remove it. Removing it from the face isn't a first choice though, because it will leave a scar and can always just come back again. As long as it's not causing trouble, best thing is to leave it in peace. If you mess with it you can stir up a lot of trouble you don't want.

Sounds like cancer. Could be life threatening.. definitely check with a doctor.

A month is a long time.

go to your family doc 1st then a dermatoligist...don't put this off, my dad had something that sounds similar...his turned out to be cancer and he's been gone 10 years tomorrow.
