Hi Cristina. Going to a Doctor or not is decided by the nature of the disease.
You have a lump, is painful , and at a spot which you described , needs antibiotic and anti-inflammatory treatment to be seen and prescribed by a Doctor.
This is to avoid further complications as if they occur will be more troublesome and difficult to treat.
A proper diagnosis is of utmost importance.
