Brief Answer:
Probably of allergic origin.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.

I have read your query, reviewed those images and understand your concerns.

Since the bump you mentioned is red, it is very likely of allergic origin.

Local application of Hydrocortisone cream should improve the bump.

If the bump will persist, or changes in size, shape and color, you should consult with a Dermatologist and skin biopsy may be necessary to name the lesion.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Greetings.
