General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

This lump is most likely an abscess. It usually appears due to infection caused by shaving in this area. Pus accumulation causes hard and painful lump. Headache is caused by fever and general illness.
He should not wait with it any longer. The abscess should be incised and pus drained. He needs to consult general surgeon.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
