Hi.
Thanks for your query.
This can be a lipoma or a sebaceous cyst or can be a lymph node.
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-free.
Of course if you are not willing now, you can ask for FNAC - fine needle aspiration cytology to get a confirmed diagnosis.
