Doctor's answer:

A cutaneous mucocele appears as a solitary, flesh-colored nodule, occurring on the face, trunk, or extremities. Skin mucocele can also be one of the symptoms of Carney syndrome. In Carney syndrome, the skin mucocele manifests as multiple, skin-colored papules smaller than 1 cm. The treatment is primarily surgical.
