Hello,

It looks like a sebaceous cyst and as the internal content is removed. It becomes smaller and then fills up again. So my suggestion is to consult a physician and get evaluated. It can completely remove so that the bump does not appear again. The gland along with the cyst is completely removed so that it heals completely. Do not try to treat it at home only as it can get infected and become painful. So better get it treated professionally.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
