Hello!
Thank you for the query.
This sounds like sebaceous cyst which has gotten infected. Your symptoms indicate that there is a pus accumulated inside this lump.
You need to consult a surgeon, otherwise your symptoms wont go away. The lump needs to be incised and pus drained.
Please do not wait with it as it is a source of infection.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
