General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

This lump is most likely a sebaceous cyst which has gotten infected. As long as it wont be removed with surrounding capsule, the problem will be recurring.
That is why I suggest you to consult a surgeon with this issue. Please do not pop it.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
