I got a question, About a year ago I had a sebaceous cyst removed and almost a year later it appeared again. Not in the same spot but very close, also I see another one forming below the other one....The first time, I had it removed and not drained however it came back. Am I destined to have these things or what? Also will sweat or irritation cause them because when I exercise I am curious if the sweating will make this happen...Any help?

It could just be coincidence. Get it drained again or consult with your doctor about prescribing you an antibiotic to battle off the infection. Don't touch it or cause any irritation to it because you risk the chance of pushing the infection in deeper. Did your doctor also give you a cortisone shot? I heard it's a powerful anti-inflammatory medication.
