Hi.
If the ultrasonography has diagnosed this to be sebaceous cyst, it is wise to get it operated now.
It may be getting swollen before periods as there may be congestion around it as a PMS.
I would advise you to get this operated for few reasons:
1. You get rid of the lump before complications of infection .
2. You get a confirmed diagnosis that it is sebaceous cyst or so.
3. you get tension-free.
