General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi.
Thank for your information about a mass that has developed under the chip wear of your husband.
The pain, increasing in size indicates that there is an infection going on in the area and your husband needs to take an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines to get the infection contained.
If the problem is more than 3 days it is likely to develop into an abscess and then will need incision and drainage .

For getting a clinical evaluation, getting a prescription and an opinion whether to give medical treatment or to give an incision, it is better to consult a General Surgeon.
