Welcome to Health care magic.
1.The history suggest an infective lump in post traumatic area.
2.In this case a course of antibiotic will help to heal better, if there is collection - a small incision and drainage followed by antibiotic treatment might be helpful.
3.Do not scratch the area or press the lump, it will only complicate and increase healing time.
4.Avoid or reduced moment as much as possible for early healing.
5.If there are any underlying medical condition - make sure they are in control. Good luck.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
