Hi
I am 100%sure about the diagnosis of Sebaceous cyst.
You have to undergo tests for Surgery only.
Once the swelling is removed, you can send it for Histopathological examination(Biopsy). Accurate Diagnosis will be known.The Report will come as Sebaceous cyst only.
Nothing to worry.
Get it removed as Soon as possible.
