A doctor?: Hi, it is not wise to manipulate any skin lesion or cyst at home due to the infection risk, please see your family doctor.

Probably a cyst: If it is hurting, it may be infected and may need to be incised and drained. The best place to this would be in the doctor's office under sterile condition.They can also determine if any culture needs to be obtained or antibiotic would be necessary.
