Hi,
It could be a sebaceous cyst.Sebaceous cysts are usually painless, slow-growing small bumps or lumps that move freely under the skin.Sebaceous cysts are often the result of swollen hair follicles, or skin trauma.
A sebaceous cyst is a closed sac occurring just under the skin which contains a "pasty" or "cheesy" looking substance. A foul odor is also often present in the substance called keratin which fills sebaceous cysts.
Sebaceous cysts most often disapear on their own and are not dangerous. Occasionally, they may become inflamed and tender. Small inflamed cysts can often be treated by injection of steroid medications or with antibiotics.
People fear that these bumps or lumps under the skin may be genital herpes. The fact is that genital herpes creates a completely different kind of sore -- a blister-type sore that eventually becomes crusty -- not just a bump or lump under the skin.
Sebaceous cysts are usually easily diagnosed by their appearance to the trained eye. In some cases, a biopsy may be necessary to rule out other conditions with a similar appearance.
They are known to recur.
