Brief Answer:
As detailed below.
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query, albeit short and specific.
Noted your history well.
As per the history you have provided, this looks to be granuloma pyogenicum.
A course of an antibiotic and an anti-inflammatory medication may help to resolve such a lump.
May need excision under local anesthesia if it does not get resolved on its own or with medication.
Please give additional information:
Since when is this present?
Please post clear and focused photos as it helps for on-the-spot diagnosis.

It showed up about two to three months ago and never gave me a problem up to last week when it seemed like over night it got bigger, harder and painful. Since then it has stayed the same. The size of a large pea and still painful to the touch.
