Did any doctor diagnose it as dermoid cyst ? A dermoid cyst is unlikely to be of recent onset . It is more likely to be a sebaceous cyst which requires excision with clear removal of cyst wall, a simple Incison and Drainage or partial excision may lead to recurrence
Next Steps
consult a plastic surgeon
Health Tips
do not squeeze or burst the cyst

Sebaceous cyst has to be removed. But that is not compulsory. Only if it gets repeatedly infected or symptomatic
