HI
Thank for asking to HCM
Antibiotic can only be given if the lesion has got some infection, you better rule out the other possible reasons for this swelling, and for that you have to see the surgeon, it could be lipoma, if you do not have any sign symptoms like throbbing pain,near or over the swelling, fever, loss of appetite, weight, then it may not be infectious, certain test has to be done to conform the final diagnosis, please take care, have nice day.
