This is mostly Pilomatricoma. This is a type of noncancerous benign skin tumor associated with hair follicles. The hair follicles  are specialized structures in the skin where hair growth occurs.The long-term  prognosis for people with an isolated tumor without other signs and symptoms pilomatricoma is usually good. Most people do not experience any serious complications. A pilomatricoma will not go away or become smaller; therefore, surgical excision is the treatment of choice. Removal of a pilomatrixoma is a day surgery, meaning u will go home the same day as the procedure. The mass will be removed and sent to the lab to confirm the diagnosis that's a biopsy. Consult a Dermatologist for the same at the earliest.
