(VIA TMZ) Nick Cannon refused to let minor surgery on his face keep him  from the party scene — ’cause the host/rapper/actor/producer hit the clubs this  weekend after doctors removed a massive cyst from his cheek.

Cannon had  been tweeting about the growth for the past couple of days — explaining how he  went to a skin doctor last week to treat a “cyst on my face the size of a  grape!!”

The “America’s Got Talent” host says doctors  decided to remove the cyst but it wasn’t pretty — “I want to show y’all the  pics of the removal but its too disgusting! #weakstomach.”

But after the  procedure, Cannon threw a band-aid on his face and hit up Hyde in Hollywood —  telling us he refuses to let the whole thing slow him down.

Nick told us  doctors had to take a culture of the cyst for further examination — but he’s  confident it’s all good.
