hi.
noted history of recurring bump. it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a dermatologist or a general surgeon, for physical examination and clinical evaluation. it may be a case of recurrent sebaceous or keratinous cyst. dermatologic concerns (allergic/hypersensitivity reactions, etc.) must also be ruled-out. management (medical and/or surgical if indications are found) will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
