Hi,Welcome with your query to HCM virtual Clinic.
I reviewed all the details of your query,in context of treatment for hard sore lump under the chin of your brother.

Based on the facts of your query,You seems to have acne/boil.
Second opinion from your surgeon to confirm and treat it accordingly,as I don't have direct information about the lump.Remedy- Would depend on the treatment.
Remedy- Would depend on the cause of it-
-Check FBS/PBS blood test for diabetic control
-Verify and adjust anti-diabetic treatment
-Cold compresses.
-Tab Oflox 200 mgm
-Tab Motrin- under cover of your doctor.
-If no relief consult Surgeon,who would confirm its cause and control the diabetes and would treat it accordingly.
