Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
Yes, this is most probably a sebaceous cyst.
There is nothing to worry at the moment.
BUT - why to keep this. Get this removed when it is small and easily operable ; why to wait till it enlarges or has complications like infection.
I find this answer helpful
