I noticed a 2 inch lump (like a fatty lump) under my skin and on my buttocks a couple weeks ago. I didn't think much of it as it's in the same location as I get my b-12 shot every other week. However, it's not gone away and is quite painful. I'm starting to get concerned that it's something more. Should I see a dermatologist?

I have a hard knot under my skin by my jaw line, it's not in my mouth though. My mother thinks it might be my dimple piercing causing the knot, but I think it might be a pimple growing in, but I'm still not sure because my skin isn't red near the knot, nor does it show anywhere on my face.
