Yes, its probably a blocked Montgomery gland.You can try hot compresses, with a face flannel wrung out in hot water and gentle massaging or you can just leave it alone. Better not to squeeze it or you can introduce infection. They often disappear as you get older. Its all do do with puberty . If it gets really big and annoying/embarrassing, then do see your doctor. they are very common.

If its infected it will become an angry pink or red and will start to feel tender to touch. If that happens, see your doctor if it lasts more than a few days.
