Have Tender Lump Below Jaw Bone. Have Cystic Acne On Face. Any Ideas?

Hi I have a lump as described below. On my jaw bone rite In front of the opening of my ear. It is slightly tender. It feels movable like its not completely attached to my jaw. I'm also have an extremely horrible bout of what looks like cystic acne on the same side of the face. Any ideas? I don't have insurance rite now and can't afford to head to the doc. Thank you for your time and knowledge.

Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic
It seems like you have an infected acne cyst and an inflamed lymph node over the jaw bone in front of ear. This lymph node drains the skin over your cystic acne. So once the infection comes down the lymph node also usually disappears. You might require a course of antibiotic. Tablet azithromycin 500 mg once a day for 3 days will be adequate, get it prescribed by your primary care physician.
Hope this helped.
Take care
