Could be infection
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I have gone through your uploaded picture
The lump in the base of left skull could be a swollen lymph node due to infection.
I would advise you to take 1 week course of antibiotic with your doctors advise.
If the lump still persist after 1 week then I would advise you to do a CT scan of neck.
