Lump: Could be different things but better to be checked by the doctor. Depending how long is there, getting bigger or not. Still better to be evaluated.

Inclusion cyst: Most likely. These cysts contain cellular debris and are benign. Suggest evaluation by dermatologist or surgeon for surgical removal. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
