Inflammed cyst: This can be drained and removed easily as office procedure with local anesthetic. Sutures need to stay on about one week.

Get seen to ID.: It could be an infected or inflamed cyst. These lesions would likely need to be examined and more history obtained to be able to provide you with useful input about the diagnosis or possible treatment.
