As we can see in picture and from history given by you, it can be epidermal cyst or lipoma. Both are benign lesions. (Means non cancerous). Very rare possibility this lesion could be cancer.

As per your history, if the growth in not increasing in size and as the picture you have attached, it seems to be a benign lesion. It can be a case of epidermal cyst. Rarely it can be a cancerous lump. But the treatment is surgical excision only if you want to get rid of it. There's is no medicine to dissolve the swelling.
