Better to see a head and neck surgeon or a Surgical oncologist. They would examine you and if needed, ask for an ultrasound or an MRI of the Parotid region. It could be anything from sebaceous cyst to parotitis or Parotid tumor. The short history makes infection more likely especially if painful. If not, could be Parotid tumor. It is more likely to be benign, but cancer cannot be ruled out. Feel free to contact me directly if you want to discuss this further.
