Since childhood I seems to have a lesion on my head scalp. My parents told me it's inherent and I was under the impression that it's a wart/mole. With age it has grown a little and it's of the size of a peanut with my age as 29. I consulted a doc who said it's a sebaceous cyst another doc told me it's soft lipoma/polyp. It does not itch or pain. Does not show the symptoms ABCDE. Recently it is showing burning sensation when touched. No releases but I am concerned now. Can these moles/warts/ cyst suddenly become cancerous after being benign for 12 years? I do not wanna remove it as it may grow back bigger and I'm scared of surgery. Request you to suggest if this can be cancerous.

Chances of cancer is very minimal. All the conditions you mentioned, surgical removal is the only cure. I would advise to get it removed.
