hi.
based from your description, it could be a keratinous or a sebaceous cyst formation. it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for physical examination and clinical evaluation. diagnostics will be requested as needed. if it is indeed a cystic formation, definitive management is surgical excision of the lesion and proper antibiotic regimen and wound care thereafter.
hope this helps.
good day!!
