the bump looks like the pictures showing on the article on the internet that I got your name from and paid my fee. I do not know how to get a picture of my bump. It was called a botox bump. XXXXXXX XXXX

Hi XXXXXXX
Without being able to see a picture of your bump, I can only guess about it. Your description of the page on the internet where you saw something similar can't help because the company (Health Care Magic) has pop up ads on many sites so I wouldn't be able to get to that page.
Given the duration of your bump, and that it has grown bigger rather than diminished, makes me think it may be a keloid, or dermatofibroma. Both keloids and dermatofibromas can grow where skin has been disturbed. Both are benign. And the treatment is to have it surgically removed (usually an office procedure) by either a dermatologist or plastic surgeon. Keloids can be tricky as they can grow again, but there are ways, when you have it removed, to decrease the likelihood of regrowth.
I hope this information helps. I wish I could tell you that there is some over the counter cream you can use to make it go away, but it needs to be seen by there isn't.
