	Answer by Dr Vinod, MBBS,FcGP (doctor) on Sat 21, Nov 2009 07:02pm: Hello bace30, This may be due to a lymph node inflammation or a bacterial infection. I would suggest you to go for an examination if the lump increases in size and if it becomes tenderer. You would need a course of antibiotics to clear the infection. In the future always maintain complete hygiene. Take care!
