Hi,
Nothing to worry, it seems to be simple sebaceous cyst.
It should be excised with complete removal of sac.
Any time you can go for removal, it is simple procedure.
While excising the cyst if some part of sac remained there and not removed completely then there is risk of recurrence is there.
Ok and take care.
I find this answer helpful
