Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having either ingrown hair follicle infection or infected sebaceous cyst.
Go for one antibiotic medicine course.
If it is cleared, it can be infection in hair follicle, otherwise it might be sebaceous cyst.
Ok and take care.

Hi,
It seems that you may be having sebaceous cyst...also called epithelioid cyst. There is a cystic lesion containing cheesy material white to black in color,when squeezed,the material comes out. Some time there may be secondary bacterial infection. Then it becomes tender and erythematous. Initially you take antibiotics like cefuroxime for 1 week with anti inflammatory drugs. Then you may go for excision of the cyst under local anaesthesia. For that you consult dermatologist or general surgeon. I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
