Hello,

According to your narration, it is inflammatory lesion involving subcutaneous tissue mostly sebaceous cyst type thing (a high-resolution clinical photograph would be so much appreciable here). Can take temporary pain killers at present, but have to consult your doctor for clinical check-up because there is redness and hurting proves that there is definite presence of infection inside. Then your doctor will decide plan of management with antibiotics and anti-inflammatory agents to tackle the condition precisely. Till then take care not to injure it, keep it clean and dry.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
