Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi.
As per your case history you are having a sebaceous cyst.
My treatment advice is -
1. Don't squeeze the lesion as it may worsen the condition. Don't worry about cancerous growth.
2. Apply a mild antibiotic cream like fusiderm cream twice daily on it.
3. Take a NSAID like ibuprofen for pain if present.
4. Only curative treatment is excision under local anesthesia done by a dermato-surgeon.

Thanks.
