Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM

Bump may be due to inadequate drainage of pus and improper care.
You need proper repeat clinical examination by surgeon.
If it is not properly drained then second drainage may be required under antibiotic coverage and a bigger incision might be required.
Small bump may be due to fibrosis resulting from healing. It is better to avoid pressure on the area while sitting and preventing sweat formation in the area. This will give rise to further bacterial growth and delayed healing.
