Brief Answer:
Could be infection

Detailed Answer:
Hi

I have gone through your uploaded picture

The lump in the base of left skull could be a swollen lymph node due to infection.

I would advise you to take 1 week course of antibiotic with your doctors advise.

If the lump still persist after 1 week then I would advise you to do a CT scan of neck.

Regards
