Sebaceous cyst: You have a sebaceous cyst, not a mole. Minor surgery to drain it probably will help. Since it's on your face, you should see a plastic surgeon to assure a good cosmetic result. Good luck.

Sebaceous cyst: It sounds like a sebaceous cyst. You may visit a dermatologist for confirmation and poss elective excision
