That's a pilar cyst around your hair follicles. If it gets larger, let a surgeon remove it under local anesthesia.It can be easily removed.
Also avoid any vaseline containing gels on your scalp because they block the pores and can cause another problem called scalp acne.Scalp acne is common in those who use pomenades.
