Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic,
You could be having a sebaceous cyst or furuncle (boil).
Without an opportunity to closely examine the lesion, I would not be able to accurately specify the condition. You have a feature to upload the images by yourself at the right side of the query page, please utilize that so that I can answer your query better. You can also send the image as attachment to YYYY@YYYY , with the subject as 'Attn: Dr. Johny Chacko'. Do not worry about privacy as the site takes utmost care about that.
If the lesion is infected Doxycycline will help. 100mg twice a day can be tried for 7 days. Inspite of that if there is no improvement you should consider a dermatology consultation.
Hope this helped
Take care


Thanks Again
You are welcome
