Hi XXXXXXX,
Thanks for posting your query.
Please provide a bit more detail about the problem, since how long he is having acne-whether on any treatment.
Since when is this lump and it's exact site, whether there are the acne eruptions in that area.
If you can load a photograph in the attachment it would be very helpful for me to optimize the diagnosis.
Hope I have answered your query.
If you have any questions I will be happy to answer.
Please close the query if you have no other questions.
Wish you a good health.
