Brief Answer:
It might be an autoimmune disease.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Such lumps can be caused by some autoimmune disease. Especially as it recurs in a strange for infection ways. I am pretty sure you do not have fever and pain either with this lump.
I suggest you to consult rheumatologist with this issue. Swab test can be taken, but most likely it will be negative.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
