What you are describing sounds more like a sebacceous Cyst rather than a mole. It is actually a small sweat gland that gets stopped up and becomes infected sometimes. Considering that it is near important things like your brain and eyes, I would go to a dermatologist and have it permanently removed. My husband had one on his back that the doctors watched for several years, then it was finally expanding without draining and they had to cut several layers into his skin to remove it because it was growing under the skin and spreading out. IT was not a pretty picture. The good thing about this is that it can be biopsied as well and put your mind totally at ease.JennMorgan12-31-2003, 10:10 AMWhat you are describing sounds more like a sebacceous Cyst rather than a mole.

Thanks for responding! I guess Im calling a dermotologist soon just to be safe, but I am about 99% sure it is a mole, I have a lot of moles. I guess Im just not positive, so Id better go and would rather be safe than sorry :) Thanks for the info, Im going to go look.
