See your doctor for: exam to look at the 2nd bump and see if it's a sebaceous cyst too or something else. Use warm compresses on it a few times a day for 10 mins, and see if that helps while you are waiting to see your doctor. If it doesn't drain, then it's a different type of cyst. In either case, a physical exam is warranted.

Probably not related: Small bump on the side of neck could be a lymph node related to sore throat..I would do some OTC meds like Tylenol (acetaminophen) or anti inflammitories . If persistant see your doc.
