See your doctor: It seems as if waiting is safe. See your doctor. Nobody knows more about you then him/her.

Concerned: Yes. It should be investigated. It might be only skin level (like a sebaceus cyct), but sometimes it can be something-else such as enlarged lymph node or a remnant from an abscess communicating with a mastoid cell.
