Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. He may have abscess forming infection or infected cyst or soft tissue tumor. He should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy of that lump. It will give you exact diagnosis.
Then you should take treatment accordingly.
