Hi..you probably have an inflamed sebaceous cyst. This needs removal under local anaesthesia. Look up a good dermatosurgeon in your area and get it done.
You can alternatively come to Bombay and get it done by me. I am a trained in dermatosurgery in UK and USA. you can get in touch with me via juvenis.in
