Hi.
As per your case history you may be having a benign cystic lesion.
My advice -
1. Don't squeeze the lesion. It may lead to relapse.
2. Apply topical antibiotic cream like fusiderm cream twice daily.
3. Consult the dermatologist if lesion persists for more than 4 weeks. It may require excision.

Thanks
