Brief Answer:
Either Milium Or Wart

Detailed Answer:
Hi.

This seems like a Milium which is a actually small epidermal keratin cyst.
Treatment of milium is simple i.e extraction with a fine needle.
Another possibility is that it is a small wart. This too has to be removed i.e usually with a radiofrequency cautery Or CO 2 Laser.
I suggest that you visit a dermatologist in your region for the needful.

Brief Answer:
It has to be removed. Removal is a very minor procedure

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX

I am sorry but there isn't a cream for this. It has to be removed. It is a very minor procedure and it won't take more than 5 minutes.
You may visit a dermatologist in your vicinity at your own convenience.
