HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It is possible that it is an abscess. If an abscess is not appropriately treated then it can return.

An abscess is a collection of pus. It needs to be incised and drained and antibiotics given.

Your doctor will be able to examine you and determine if this is the diagnosis.

I hope this helps
