Hi
As per your description, it looks like a Sebaceous cyst.It is more common over the face.
There is no medical management for this.
It has to be removed surgically.
Please attach the pic showing the lesion so that I can clarify much better.
Nothing to worry.
Please consult your surgeon, get examined clinically and proceed accordingly.
Wish you good health.
