hi.
it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for medical and physical examination. based from your description, it could be a cyst (a sebaceous or a keratinous type). these lesions can occur anywhere in the body and have the tendency to recur. it could also be an abscess formation secondary to an inflammation or a recent infection. management (medical and/or surgical) will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
