HI
Thank for choosing HCM
This is for sure not related with malignancy, the chances of local swelling of lymph node is just likely, here I would advise you to take pain killer and Ibuprofen 400 mg thrice a day would give good result and wait for few days either it will go away or something will come out, if it is going to form abscess, even with the Ibuprofen if it goes increasing then you need to see the Doctor for clnical examination, take care and have nice day.
