Hi there.
It seems destined I would answer this question today more significantly so because I performed an operation earlier this month for a similar skin growth in the same region in my outpatient OPD at Vikram Hospital , Bangalore.
Also significant is that May2014 has been designated by the WHO as 'skin cancer awareness & prevention month'!
The location of your lesion merits an excision biopsy for sure!
I don't know what terms your doctor used but Keratoacanthoma, Basal cell Carcinoma & a Simple Sebaceous cyst are all possibilities.
The procedure per se can be done in the OPD as I did mine under local anaesthesia & the patient is fully conscious & alert at the time.
Good Luck & hope the tumor/cyst is excised in toto & you are soon in the clear.
