Sounds like she thinks it is a sebaceous cyst. I had one of these and my doctor said that "we don't remove these unless they get infected." I had it for several years and it really bothered me, evidentually it did get infected and then it hurt like crazy. After that happened twice I had it removed by a dermatologist. In all fairness I guess these are quite common and don't bother most people.
