Brief Answer:
This is an abscess!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this painful lump. No cancer develops in three days. Cancers develop over several months and are generally painless. It is an abscess. Your doctor should provide some antibiotics, pain medications and probably dressing with alcohol swabs. This will be sufficient and there is no need for further concerns.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
