Sebaceous cyst: Sebaceous cyst is a possible diagnosis. These are benign but can occasionally become infected. If you develop pain you should see your physician

Could be: sebaceous cyst or lipoma. Show it to your doctor before it gets too big. It it does need surgical removal, scar will be bigger if the lump is bigger.
