Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Only if its hair follicle inflammation you are able to pop it by yourself. Otherwise you need to as a surgeon to remove it. It can be a lipoma or sebaceus cyst. Both are rounded, lipoma is softer. Sebacues cyst can get infected and lead to an inflammation.
Please consult general surgeon. In case of doubts, ultrasound should be done.
Hope this will help.
