See your doc: could be cyst, but should be seen by your doc or dermatologist for proper eval and poss Tx

Watch and wait: You may feel the node every couple of weeks, if the lymph gland doubles in size, becomes painful, ulcerates, or other nodes become enlarged, or you develop fever, or lose weight, you should see a doctor. Wish you good health!
