[|AI|]  Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some sebaceous cyst or enlarged lymph node.  Enlarged lymph node can be due to reactive hyperplasia., tuberculosis or lymphoma.  You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy of that lump.  Then go for histopathological examination.  Take treatment according to diagnosis.  Till that you should take an antibiotic and analgesic Chat Doctor.  Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
