Hello and thank you for your question.
It sounds like you may have a sebacceous cyst. These cysts form from blocked ducts and can feel like a knot under your skin. They may stay stable or enlarge and get smaller at times. It may be that you need to see a dermatologist to have it removed to completely get rid of the problem.
Regards
