General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi I am Dr Fahim, I will help You with your query . . .

I appear to be a BOIL if he history is short and If the lump was there for some time then it might be SEBACEOUS CYST which got infected.

If a patient walks into my clinic with such problem I do incision and drainage under local anaesthesia followed by daily washing and dressing with pyodine. I also give antibiotic cover with amoxicillin and paracetamol for analgesia. Patients usually respond well with this treatment and are all right in few days.
You need to see a general surgeon for treatment of such problems
