Brief Answer:
Wait & observe
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thank you for getting back with the answers. I have gone through them. There is a possibility that it was as a result of insect bite or trauma. I would suggest you to wait & observe for few days. Hopefully it will resolve itself in 4-5 days. Following are the signs that would require your urgent attention:
- Increase in size
- change in overlying skin color
- lump becomes painful
- multiple lumps are formed at multiple sites.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help if not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.
Wishing you good health !!
