Hello!
Thank you for the query.
In this location sebaceous cyst is a very common lump. It is a kind of benign skin lesion filled with whitish masses. When such lump gets infected, pain and swelling appears.
It is also possible that you have a lymph node in this are.
Please consult your doctor. In case of doubts ultrasound can be done.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
