Lump: My top two likely causes for this lump are either sebaceous cyst or lipoma. I would have your doctor see them. Both conditions are benign and can usually be resolved with an outpatient procedure.

See Dr.: To be properly diagnosed, your new lesion that just "popped up" needs to be examined. Best wishes.
