Missy has a jelly like bulge on her cheek. Is it a sebaceous cyst? It’s soft jellylike, getting very big. It’s the size of a cherry tomato now.

This mass does appear to possibly be a sebaceous cysts, which is typically benign and non-cancerous. However, it is best to get this examined by your vet for confirmation.
I hope that your pet Lizzy does well moving forward. Best wishes and take care.
