HI.
This is either a sebaceous cyst or a skin disorder..
It is better to get this removed (excised) for 2 reasons.
1> your get rid of the disease and
2> you get the histopathological diagnosis- makes you tension-
You have to undergo a proper clinical examination to be done by a Doctor who can catch many of the problems on your proper history and physical examination and can then guide for further investigations and treatment.
Get an opinion of a Doctor / Dermatologist preferably.
