Could be a sebaceous cysts. lymph node or other condition.

Lymph nodes can become swollen from infection, inflammatory conditions, an abscess, or cancer. Other causes of enlarged lymph nodes are rare. By far, the most common cause of swollen lymph nodes is infection.

You may want to visit your doctor to make sure of the diagnosis.
