Sounds like: a CYST ( the location is a bit unusual but SEBACEOUS CYSTS are the most common cause of such "balls" (Enlarged LYMPH GLANDS are also possible! You should get this checked out by your PCP (Primary Care Provider) who can determine what the diagnosis is! Check it out!! Hope this helps! Dr Z
