Hi ! Good morning. From your history, it seems that you might have got insect bites over your body, some of which have got secondarily infected. The symptoms of pain in the lump are due to inflammation due to infection. However, you need a clinical examination for a definitive diagnosis, so should show yourself to your family physician at the earliest.Till that you may go for some anti inflammatory drug for a symptomatic relief. Take care.
