Hi.
This is the most unusual place for a lump to develop. Looks to be an abscess. Consult a Surgeon to see if the abscess has developed, if yes needs incision and drainage. . If yet unripe he would advise you a good antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines. Give rest to the limb. Do not manipulate on your own .
