Hello,
As per your case history of lump, my treatment advice is:
1. Do not squeeze the lesion as it may worsen the condition.
2. Apply a mild antibiotic cream like Fusiderm cream twice daily on it.
3. Take a NSAID like Ibuprofen for 5 to 7 days.
If the problem persists, then consult a dermatologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
