It could be haematoma or scar tissue.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Thanks for trusting hcm about your health care.
I have gone through your history and understand your concerns.
In my opinion it could be due to scar tissue or haematoma.
It will resolve in few weeks by its own.
But before giving my opinion I would like to ask a few questions.
Is it painful?
Exact location?
Any other associated symptoms and fever etc?
Size of lump,hard or soft?
Hope to hear from you soon.
Good luck.
Regards
