AbdominalWallAbscess: I can only speculate that what you are referring to is an abscess of the abdominal wall. Common causes include infected inclusion cysts or folliculitis. In what context are you asking?

Lump: Hi, sorry to hear you are feeling poorly. Without more information, it is difficult to narrow down what it could be. If you are in severe pain, please consider being seen in person at an urgent care facility or ER. Hope you feel better soon :)

Infection possibly: There are a broad range of possibilities. If its at the skin surface and seeping it could possibly be an infection-folliculitis/cellulitis. If it is an infection treatment options range from antibiotics to drainage of the area. If the "mass" is deeper it can be a lymph nice which again has a broad range of possibilities ranging from infection to lymphoma.
