Sebaceous cyst?

2018-08-14 10:01:26
I have a swelling in my right armpit and I observed it just after shaving.Its not painful or red or warm and its reducing in size slowly.Its been 3 days since I noticed the swelling .I had a similar swelling in my right armpit about a year ago and it was a sebaceous cyst and I had it excised.Should I wait for the swelling to subside on its own or go for surgical excision?I am worried that it might be a sebaceous cyst again!
