Hello and welcome to Healthcamagic.
This is called ateroma and this is actually sebaceous gland which is clogged. It can be easily treated under local anesthesia and can be performed by any surgeon. This is simple procedure and you should do it since cyst may in future just grow.
I hope I have answered your query. I wish you a nice day.
