Welcome at HCM
I have gone through your and being your physcian ii completely understand your health concerns.
for how long u are suffering from it? any other associated problem? like diabetes or hyptertension? any history of TB in past or exposure to TB? are u having fever? any other lymph node swelling in body?
Based upon ur history it is difficult to diagnose . in my opinion it may be a sebaceous cyst or lipoma, it need to be examined first by a surgeon so that it can be diagnosed properly. cyst or lipoma if become painful need to be excised under local anesthetic u should not be worry much about it. just meet ur surgeon
meanwhile stay calm and use acetaminophen to relieve pain If it become painful
get well soon
Hope your query is adequately addressed if you still have any feel free to ask
