Hello! I think that a single bump on the side of the face sounds abnormal - perhaps a large lymph-node, tick, abscess e.g. from a back tooth or cat-bite, tumour or inflamed follicle. A hairless surface with pigmentation does make one wonder most about ringworm, ticks, abscesses or benign or malignant cancers, but it is hard to tell from such a description alone and it's your vets' role to come to a diagnosis. Lumps often need to be sampled for a full diagnosis but, as a surprisingly large proportion of feline skin-lumps are sinister, it is well worth your while, even if it does cause a limited amount of stress the process. We look forward to hearing how you get on.
