Sebaceous cyst: Sometimes the contents of the sebaceous cyst gets hardened and will need to be surgically removed. The complete removal of the sac enclosing the cyst will prevent further recurrence.

Eh... it may. : It might rupture and feel. Better for a while. If you squeeze it You risk introducing infection and they have a likelihood of recurring. The cyst needs to be removed if bothering you. If not bothering you can be safely watched.
