Here are some...: What described strongly suggests you got a sebaceous cyst with recurrent infection like that in acnes. To solve such "permanently", a skillful excision at the time of no active infection is advised. To verify the "truth" as stated, have a dermatologist or urologist take a look timely. Best wishes to your health...
