A member asked:

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Cyst or lipoma: It is most likely either an epidermal cyst or a lipoma (benign fat tumor). Neither is worth a trip to the hospital, but it's worth pointing out the next time you see your doctor or a dermatologist to confirm that it is one of those two things. Of course, if it starts to grow or bleed or change color, have it looked at right away.
