Not sure.: Sounds strange. Might want to ask your doctor. Neither cysts nor moles are worrisome and the combination is no different.

Not unusual: It is not good or bad. It can just happen. The mole probably grew over a hair follicle or a sweat gland. The hair follicle and or sweat gland probably just got clogged and formed a cyst.

Dr Rothstein and another doctor agreed
