STEATOMA

Steatoma - A cystic collection of sebum (fatty material) that forms in a sebaceous gland and can become infected: Sebaceous cyst.

Answer to fatty mass within sebaceous gl

Hubby had a large bulge under the sebaceous gland. Gentle pressure/squeezing released a long, thin line of foul smelling solid. We asked his doctor about it and were told some glands back up fluids instead of releasing them. He told us to continue checking that gland for more need to clear it out. So far, so good. Good luck!
