Welcome to health care magic.
1. Painful lump which looks like a rash - suggest most possible cause is hair follicle infection.
2.Usually they arise form hair follicle with collection of the pus within.
3.The lymph nodal enlargement are usually due to any infection / inflammation, can be localised or systemic.
4.If it is resolving as you said - then nothing to worry, other wise a course of antibiotics will be required.
5.Do not scratch / press / disturb the lump as in that way you will complicate it to heal. And maintain local hygiene.
Good luck.
Hope i have answered your query,
any thing to ask ? do not hesitate to ask.
