Brief Answer: ?Infected sebaceous cyst; meet surgeon Detailed Answer: Hi there. Don't worry. It does appear to be a problem of an enlarged & secondarily infected sebaceous cyst. Please go across & meet a surgeon nearest you. A course of antibiotics & anti-inflammatory agents may just be helpful & will need to be started in either case so I suggest starting this. Since your prolactin & hormone levels are normal, you can relax. Might I suggest avoiding getting them sucked for awhile during sex till it settles down. Hope I have pointed you in the right direction. Good Luck & hope you get rid of this issue soon. Dr Praveen Rodrigues MD
