Hello,
Lump under skin which is growing in size and becoming painful can be due to some adnexal tumor. I suggest you to consult your dermatologist for clinical assessment and excision biopsy. Histopathological examination of adnexal mass is required to know the exact nature of lesion.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
