This morning when I woke up it was still sore and I felt a small lump about the size of a pea that moves all around right near /on the binge. I am very scared it is something bad.

Hi.
This is either a lipoma or a sebaceous cyst.
You can try antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medicines as advised by your Doctor.
Wait and watch.
FNAC sometimes helps for a diagnosis.
If it does not resolve it is better to get this removed (excised) for 2 reasons.
1> your get rid of the disease and
2> you get the histopathological diagnosis- makes you tension-free that it is not a cancer.
