Doctor: Hi,If this is an enlarged lymph node then it is likely to reduce in size spontaneously. It is usually a common sign of infection. There is a possibility this is a sebaceous cyst. This is not serious and usually needs no treatment.  If it becomes large or inflamed then see your doctor for examination. Regards,Dr K A Pottinger,MBChB FRCA
