Welcome to Health care magic.
1.Lump formation on the wound area is not normal - it could be infection at the wound site with pus collection. ( bacterial infection)
2.Better it get examined - if its collection, a small incision and drainage might be needed.
3.Another course of antibiotic might be needed for better healing.
4.As a remedy do not scratch, keep the area dry, clean it with antiseptic liquids.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
