Hi,

Be careful, it could be reactivation OF TB. It could be a sebaceous cyst as well. Kindly consult a skin specialist/surgeon. Get it operated and send the material for further examination.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nirmal Chander Gupta,
