Hi,
How long the lump is there? A recent onset lump with pain and swelling can suggest a soft tissue infection, like a boil. This will respond to antibiotics and anti-inflammatory agents for 5-7 days. Your doctor will guide you. You may be asked for a blood routine and ESR in view of recent weight loss. Meanwhile, you can take analgesics like paracetamol for pain relief.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
