General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi I am doctor Fahim and I will help you with your problem.

First I need answers to these Questions to have better understanding of you problem

- Your Gender
- Age
- Exact location of the lump
- Is it painful and recurs
- Is there any previous history of such condition

On face it appears to be acne. In teens and in twenties there is disruption of boils filled with pus/oil on face, chest and sometime over back. It is because of block hair follicle then secondarily gets infected. Its treatment varies with severity and persistence of the disease. You need to see a GP/skin specialist or send photos to us for better diagnosis. A good thing is that this condition completely treatable and you will be better soon.

I hope it will help you and do rate my answer if you like it.
Regards
