I have this too! But I have no clue what it is! At first I thought it was a pimple or something, but it like, hurts, and i can't pop it. From what i can tell, i think it is a : cyst, ingrown hair, a pimple without a white head, or a swollen sweat gland. Everybody says to just keep washing it, and it should go away, but other than seeing a dermatologist, that is all i can think of to do...

I suggest you visit either a doctor or the local free clinic if you have no insurance coverage. There will be an entry in the phone book for your town or a nearby town. It may be a harmless cyst (assuming the lump isn't the result of something obvious like a hammer to the jaw). A cyst is small and round, not much bigger than a large pea, and it will float around a little. But you must get medical help.
This lump on your jaw could be a cyst. This is basically a pathological epithelial lined cavity that fills with fluid or soft material.
A doctor should evaluate any painful lump in the body. One that is evident and obviously painful may be a sign of a serious problem and should be looked at.
I found a lump in my sons face, on his jaw on the right side, and the lump moves, and it is the size of a marble. What could this be.
I have the same thing. I was recommend by my dentist to go see someone but my physician said it was lymph node.
A sore movable lump under your jaw is a lymph node. When they are enlarged it usually means there is an infection in your body. Your doctor can diagnose your infection.
