Skin blemish

My 2 year shihtzu has a reoccuring pimple on his back.  The kids squeeze the puss out (gross) it goes down but it comes back.  What should I do about it?  Should I be concerned?

It is probably a sebaceous cyst.  It will continue to fill over and over again, ad nauseum.  The only cure is to have the cyst surgically excised with wide margins.  However dogs who have a penchant for getting dermal cysts may continue to get them in different locations during their life times.
