Hi,
From history it seems that she might be having sebaceous cyst giving rise lump anmd on bursting of cyst there is white cheesy material came out.
Now as all material came out swelling subsided but there are all chances of refilling the cyst.
consult surgeon and get examined.
if cyst is there it should be excised with sac.
Ok and take care.
I find this answer helpful
