Hi,

Based on the history, it might be a sebaceous cyst which got infected. Do you have diabetes? It will be helpful if you share a picture of the lump. Sebaceous cyst recur always if not completely excised. If it is infected you may need a surgery and get entire cyst along with its wall removed and take a course of antibiotics. As you are having recurrent problem, get your blood glucose levels tested to rule out diabetes mellitus.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Basireddy Vijay Kumar Reddy, General Surgeon
