Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
It seems that you are having sebaceous cyst.
It is also called epithelioid cyst.
It is benign condition.
The cyst is harmless unless infected.
It contains cheesy whitish material.
It should be removed surgically.
The surgical excision is simple OPD procedure done under local anaesthesia.
You consult either dermatologist or surgeon.
I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
