Marble size. Started off as a boil that i couldnt fully push out. Usually they go away but this one didn't. It's been over a year now and it still hasn't gone away and it has a smell to it
Brief Answer:
Sebaceous cyst
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
You seem to be describing a lump called Sebaceous cyst. This has a punctum to it and emits bad smell because of accumulating and infected sebum.
You should get this excised completely now by a surgeon else it would not heal completely esp with its size now.
I suggest to upload a picture as well.
