Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic
you have not mentioned the exact location of the lump and whether it is associated with fever
probably you developing an abscess if fever is present
it can be hematoma if it has come after an injury
take an antibiotic like erythromycin for 5 days
if no relief better consult a surgeon
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Take care
