General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

Although a clinical assessment is needed to know the nature of the swelling, from the history of the lump, it seems to be a sebaceous cyst which gets infected again and again, and then subsides temporarily after discharging the contents to recur again. If I were your doctor, I would refer you to a general surgeon who after an initial clinical assessment might advise you for a surgery with all precautions to avoid formation of a keloid at the site.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
