Hello.
Welcome to HCM.
This is Dr. Swarnava Dattagupta answering your query.
See, exactly what that lump is- this cannot be said without a proper history and examination. Tell me about its size shape consistency duration and any associated discharge etc. With these information, I might be able to tell you further. Also get an antibiotic course with tab coamoxyclav 625 thrice daily for 5 days done. If it is because of an infective etiology, it should be better with antibiotics. Otherwise, you can see a general surgeon and a biopsy may be taken if required.
Hope this was useful.
Regards
