See below: It is possible that you have a cyst, acne scarring, abscess, or another type of skin problem. If the bump grows, does not show signs of resolving, bleeds, or exhibits new symptoms... See a dermatologist for evaluation & suggested treatments. In the interim, do not pick or manipulate the bump.

Possible skin cancer: This healing and recurrence pattern is typical of a minor skin cancer and you should have the area checked by your family doc, dermatologist or plastic surgeon.
