Could be an infected: hair follicle, or a small lymph node, or a inclusion/sebaceous cyst, or a nodule. Could be harmless or indication of infection. Would likely need to see a healthcare provider for proper examination and diagnosis. Hard to help without actual direct visualization. Thanks for trusting in HealthTap.

See below: Could be a subcutaneous acne or sebaceous cyst. If it is an acne cyst,warm compresses should shrink it . If it is a sebaceous cyst it will persist.If it grows,becomes painful or drains, should see a doctor
