Dear Friend.
Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney.
I have read your query in detail. I understand your concern.
This can be due to an infection.
It should be examined and if it is simply an abscess, you should be given a course of antibiotics like Augmentin.
If it still persists, You should get a FNAC of that area, to be sure of the diagnosis.
This is my best advice for you with the available details, if you have any further query, please ask us.
Stay Healthy
