Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM
I would like to keep a possibility of Infected sebaceous cyst judging from the fact that you had a a pea sized lump and now it has grown bigger and is red , swollen and painful.
If i was your treating doctor i would have asked you to take an oral antibiotic (penicillin group) for a week so as to resolve the infection.
Once that infection is cured the cyst can be surgically removed which will prevent any further chances of bacterial infection.
take care
regards
