I've got a small lump on my cheek that popped up a few hours after I woke up. It's lighter than my normal skin tone, and I can't figure out what it is or how it happened. It's really noticeable and I'm a bit worried. What could this be?

That could be due to insect bite, don't try to squeeze it, visit Ophthalmologist for evaluation and appropriate management
