Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
She may have abscess forming infection. Lump is due to abscess formation or due to some other causes. She should go for fine needle aspiration cytology to search the cause of lump. Then she should take treatment accordingly. If only abscess is there, then incision and drainage with antibiotics is the treatment. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. You can send me image also.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
