Hello dear
I understand your concern
Lump could be due to hair follicle infection, abscess formation, sebaceous cyst.
Examination by general surgeon is must to diagnose the cause.
Following advice will helpful:
Apply mupirocin ointment
Apply warm pad application
Take warm water sitz bath with added betadine.
If bumps will persists and once it become soft, it should be excised by putting incision under the aseptic condition.
Hope this may help you
