Brief Answer:
Yes

Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome.
Well,I don't think this is sign of some serious issue,and in most cases this is self limiting, but sometimes it may indicate infection or abscess especially if redness and discharge occur. If not,then you can wait and see if it will persist or lump will occur and them ultrasound should be performed. Wish you good health. Regards
