Hi and welcome to HCM.
It is hard to say what it is but it can be lipomas, atheromas, abcesses or some other subcutaneous lesion. Next time you remove it you should do biopsy and get it analysed to verify the exact diagnosis. If this is infected lesion it should be treated by antibiotics for 14 days and the microbe should be isolated. Wish you good health. Regards
