For how long it’s been there ? It’s removal depends upon the problems it s creating. In long term body may form a covering or tissue around that to wall it off. Body may reject it by forming tissue reaction around it and in those cases it needs removal.
Next Steps
Observe it for sometime and if problem appears consult a surgeon
