Welcome to HCM.
I understand your concern.
It could be due to excess pus collection under the skin surface due to which you are having painful bumps or it could be lymph node enlargement due to some infection .Will need personal examination by a doctor.
For the time being you can take some analgesic tablet like crocin and follow up with local doctor for opinion and clinical examination.
Thanks and regards.
Take care.
