What is this thing in between my eyebrows, and how much will it cost to remove it?

Question

I have some kind of bump in between my eye brows. It makes me very self conscious and I want to get rid of it. I think it may be a scar or sebaceous cyst, but I can't tell. Can some one tell me what it is, and how much it will cost to remove? Thanks for the help!

An examination can help narrow the diagnosis down to a few options. All subcutaneous bumps on the face do require early diagnosis to minimize scarring. Raffy Karamanoukian MD FACS

From this one photo I can only say that it could be several things. Because it is prominently located on your face, i would vote for doing a tiny biopsy, say a 2mm punch, in order to find out what it is. Sometimes, if it is a cyst, then the problem is solved as the cyst comes out through the biopsy site.It would cost you an office visit and a biopsy. If you have insurance and your deductible is already met, then you would only need to bring  your copayment. If you don't happen to have insurance, then your out of pocket cost would be around 250 for the first office visit and a punch biopsy is around 100. 00.  The laboratory that processes the tissue (Labcorp or quest) will send you a bill separately for the pathology/ microscopic analysis of the tissueHope this helps you!
