HI you probably have got Epidermoid or a sebacous cyst on your chest it is an enclosion cyst within the skin and it contain cheesy material which is actually secretions of sebacous glands and keratin it may later get infected or it may rupture to discharge the contents.
you can have it curetted or excised if forming repeatedly.
