Hello ma'am and welcome.
Looks like the lump is associated with a lowered or weakened immunity and may return overtime he has an infection or simply is immunocompromised he may experience this.
I would thus recommend a longer course of antibiotics this time around in order to adequately treat the lump. But if at all it does recur, then a surgical drainage may be required. Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
