Welcome to Health care magic.

1.The history suggest the lump you are experiencing is of infective aetiology with collection of pus within. Possible cause could be hair follicular infection / inflammation.
2.Other possible cause could be glandular enlargement ( sub mandibular gland and lymph nodal enlargement )
3.Initially a course of antibiotic will help to treat infective collection / lump.
4.Compusary suggestion - never ever press or scratch the ares, maintain local hygiene, clean with antiseptic liquid.
5.If not healed finally ultrasound to know the nature and source of the lesion and its extensions. If mass lesion a needle sample might be needed.Good luck.

Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
