Basel cell surgery 11/16/17. Noticed a lump forming between my eyebrows. I went to my surgeon on 1/23/18 & he said it was scar tissue (massaged it everyday). He injected the site with Kenalog..said it would flatten it out. On 2/6 the lump was even bigger. Went back to my dr & he said it was swelling from fluid. It would go down in 2 wks. On 2/18 the lump is even more pronounced. I went to the doctor & he said he would probably need to cut it out! PLEASE HELP I'M SCARED..... NEED EXPERT ADVICE
