This is an old method, from an old person (me). Put a bit of rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball and apply to the bump once n the morning and once at night. This well help dry it up and also kills any bacteria.
Also, apply a warm compress to it and if it is a pimple/boil it will come to a head. If it is a cyst, it will help it liquefy and reabsorb in you body.
A sebaceous cyst is filled with kertatin matter–usually a thick white material. A cyst can become infected and have the mannerisms of a large and very painful pimple.

It could be a boil. It it is harder than it probably is a sweat bump or a zit. If it is softer and will move around when touching it then it could be a cyst. I would see a doctor if it does not go down in a couple days.
