It : It could be a cyst or a lipoma. You can have it removed if it is bothersome. If it becomes larger, gets red, you have red streaks, or fever then you must be seen immediately.

See dermatologist: sounds like you might have either an infected cyst or lipoma. would suggest you get eval and poss tx by dermatologist, esp if lesion is increasing in size and symptomatic
