Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
By your history and description, in my opinion, you are mostly having infected sebaceous cyst.
Sebaceous cyst is common in hairy area.
It is due to obstruction of the duct. So the sebum accumulates in it and cause swelling.
If you burst it, sebum will come out. Since the obstruction is there sebum will again fill up and cause recurrent swelling.
Best treatment is surgical removal of sebaceous cyst.
So consult surgeon and discuss all these.
I find this answer helpful
