Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As per my surgical experience, this is possibly sebaceous cyst with infection.
Though primary relief is possible with ice application and analgesic tablets, I recommend to consult your surgeon for definite management plans which may require surgery as well.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
