Hi,
Thanks for writing to HCM.
That lump could be a hematoma (blood clot), which has got organised over two months, and have become hard.
It will take some time to resolve and if its becomes worm or painful, it suggests that it has got infected and than it needs evacuation by surgery.
Hope, i have been helpful.
