Hi, dear
I have gone through your question.
I can understand your concern.
She may have some benign cyst like dermoid cyst or she may have some abscess formation due to infection. You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy of that lump.
It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
