Hi.
A soft tender lump on the mons may be due to an infected sebaceous cyst. Due to fat contents of the mons most of the small swellings are not easily seen, can only be felt. You should seek immediate attention as you need a course of an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines so that it may resolve without incision, other wise excision may be necessary . Due to excessive fat , the healing is hampered in the area of mons.
