I have had this for several years in the same spot when it goes down and seems tp try to hesl the skin sinks in and creates a hole until it resurface. IWhat could possibly be wrong with me?

Hello,
Thanks for the query.
you might be suffering from sebaceous cyst.

This is a chronic recurring condition.
surgery is the only remedy for this.

First infection is to be controlled then surgery can be taken up.

Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis and treatment.


Let me know if you have any other doubt.
