I have a lump under the skin where the outer edge of my nose meets my upper lip.!


Question: it's about the size of a pea and it hurts when it's touched. I noticed it about 5 months ago and was hoping it would go away on it's own. It's not noticable just by looking. I've had a root canal in the tooth right under my lip where it hurts (tooth knocked out in teen years). My general doctor told me (over the phone) to see a dermatologist. Any ideas of what this could be and what type of doctor I should see? I was thinking maybe a dental x-ray might show something???

yes, go see a dermatologist (skin doctor) the two things are probably unrelated.
