Hi! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. Although it needs a physical examination of the lesion to arrive at a diagnosis, from the history it seems to me to be an infected lesion forming an abscess either de Nova, or by a super added infection in a pre-existing benign cyst or lump like a colonial abscess or an infected sebaceous cyst or Desmond. If I were your doctor, I would examine if it was a frank abscess both clinically and also by a FNAC. In this case, I would evacuate the abscess by incision and Chat Doctor.  Once it was healed, I would go for an elective surgery of removing the lesion by an excision biopsy and sending the same for histopathological diagnosis. Till then, you could go for an anti-inflammatory
