Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
* The lump with severe pain indicate internal stretching of subcutaneous tissue, muscle or else.
* A remote possibility of developing abscess or infection has to be checked by clinical examination of warmth and temperature changes of the overlying skin.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
