Hi,
As you said you have sebaceous cyst on chin. It is a benign cyst containing cheesy material. Some times it may be infected. You may take short course of antibiotics and anti inflammatory drugs. If there is itching, you may take antihistaminic like levocetirizine.You consult dermatologist or surgeon. It may be removed surgically under local anaesthesia. It is a minor surgery done in OPD. I feel that you may become alright. I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
