HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that lump may be due to infection. It may be an infected hair follicle/sweat gland or abscess related to other tissues.
It would be best to visit your doctor for assessment.
If it is an infection then antibiotics would be needed. Incision and drainage may be needed if there is an abscess.
I hope this helps
