I understand your concern. When a bump like this appears and stays for a few months without any redness or pus, it could be something harmless, like a sebaceous cyst or colloid milium. These types of bumps are often firm or soft to touch and may stay on the skin for a long time.
Sebaceous cysts happen when the sebaceous glands, which produce skin oils, get blocked. They are usually painless and may stay the same size, or even grow slowly over time. Colloid milium, on the other hand, is often a small, clear or skin-colored bump that usually occurs due to sun exposure and develops on the face, especially around the eyes or temples.
It is best to have a closer examination so that we can understand what type of bump this is and decide the best way to treat it. In some cases, we may need to do a small procedure to remove it, especially if it is bothersome. I would recommend coming in for a consultation so we can look at it properly and discuss the right treatment options for you.
