General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

* As per my surgical experience, the lump on finger after sebaceous cyst drainage, refers to post operative residual inflammation effect at the operative site.
* I recommend not to squeeze it for further damage, rather than continue medications given by doctor and do regular follow up with your doctor for dressing as per the advise.

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