Hi,

It seems to be an infected epidermoid cyst or lipoma. You need to take a course of oral and topical antibiotics and anti inflammatory medicines. Once the condition improves go for excisions of the lump.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
