Listen to doc: Your doctor knows your personal history and should be giving you a proper diagnosis based on that and he/she is actually there to see the condition to make a diagnosis. I agree with your doctor, from the sounds of it it sounds like a cyst. No need to worry, continue to take your medication as prescribed and you should be fine :].
