It could be due to folliculitis.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,

Thanks for trusting hcm about your health care.
I have gone through your history and understand your concerns.

The lump could be due to folliculitis or due to enlarged lymph node due to hormonal changes.

Just wait and watch on it( either it is increasing in size and shape and pain increase or decrease).

Hot fomentation is effective in your case.You can take analgesic if pain is more.

Hope found useful, feel free to ask more information.
Good luck.
Regards
