But this forum seemed the closest.

I have a lump under my right but cheek, about half the size of an egg. It is quite tender to the touch, and it begins to hurt after sitting down for a while.

I only noticed it a few days ago, but I am worried that it may be something out of the ordinary.

How important is it to see a doctor about this....ASAP or can i wait a week?

Since we don't know what it is, it's tough to say if waiting a week is dangerous or not. My guess would be that it is safe to wait a week, but that's just a guess, like I said. It could be a simple infected hair follicle or boil, in which case waiting a week should be ok. So it's up to you.
