Hi
Thank you for your query
A lump of that kind with cheezy material coming out seems more likely to be a dermoid cyst (a small congenital benign cyst) but since it has not been since childhood and occurs repeatedly it may be some skin infection. It can be elucidated only by examining so i suggest you consult a pediatric surgeon
Hope that helps
God bless you
