Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
If the swelling is attached to the skin this is most likely to be a sebaceous cyst. If it is deep rooted there are more chances of this being a lymph node.
The referred pain is normal and nothing much to worry about it.
Take a course of an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines under the direction of your Doctor. Lymph node will settle with this.
A sebaceous cyst may need removal under anesthesia,
The movement swill improve with the proper treatment of the original problem
