a cyst on the sebaceous gland or the skin. I have them; mine are (fortunately for me) almost all on the scalp hidden by hair). In practice, they are a lot like pimples that never entirely go away. They pretty much always itch, when infected they hurt a little too. They constantly form dry little caps, often with a little blackhead-like dot. Picking at them is one more way I have of fidgeting. Since they are merely a minor nuisance and are hidden by my hair, I've never had anything done about them. Treatment seldom takes permanent care of the problem, anyway.

There are many kinds of cysts and some may be serious. If the cyst grows or stays around for awhile, it is best to check in with your doctor.
