Brief Answer:
As advised

Detailed Answer:
Recurrence means there can be a chronic disease or simply recurrence or formation of new one at the same place.
This can be confirmed by:
Ultrasound and aspiration, the discharge to be sent for: Gran staining, AFB staining for tuberculosis as this is present for 2 weeks, culture and sensitivity.
If solid then FNAC to be sent for AFB staining.

May need a formal excision to remove all the wall of the mass and send this for histopathology to know the diagnosis and also have proper medication as per the cause thus found.

I hope this answer helps you.
