First of all, have you ever tried suboxone? It works great to kick the habit. And the lump is either scar tissue, an infection or a clot. If it is warm to touch and painful its prolly a clot or start of an infection. Just watch it closely. If it gets bigger, really warm, or starts to hurt a bunch you need to get it looked at. Meanwhile, if you insist on bootin, don't use that area. Hope that helps
