This image shows a large, painful swelling on the side of the face, located around the jaw and cheek area. Swellings of this size are not cosmetic issues—they are often signs of a serious underlying infection, abscess, or inflammatory condition that requires urgent medical attention.
Facial swelling like this can develop rapidly and may be caused by dental abscesses, infected cysts, blocked salivary glands, or deep skin infections. As pressure builds beneath the skin, the area becomes tense, shiny, and extremely uncomfortable. In many cases, pus accumulates internally, creating a risk of the infection spreading to nearby tissues or even into the bloodstream.
