Brief Answer:
It is a small Sebaceous cyst.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
As per your description,it looks like a Sebaceous cyst.
This cyst occurs in relation to hair.In most of these cysts,we see a dark spot over it called punctum.
It is not cancer.
There are no medicines for it.It has to be removed surgically.It can be done under local anaesthesia as a Day case procedure.
Nothing to worry.
Hope i answered your query.If you have any questions,i will clarify further.
Wish you good health.

Tryed to squish it but nothing happen . It just look wet a bit. Is vinegar okay to put on it?

Answered by Dr. Hari Charan Perigela (8 hours later)

Brief Answer:
Please do not put anything on it.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Please do not put anything on it,even Venigar.It may get infected .
You should consult a surgeon and get it removed.
Eventhough the contents come out after squeezing,the swelling recurs as the cyst wall is still present.
So,it has to be removed completely.
Wish you good health.
