I have a hard lump that gets a tad bigger each day, it is painful to move, flex, or touch it. it got a little bit red, too. what could this be?

Could be infection: Although a "lump" could be any number of things, especially since the location isn't described, the description is consistent with subcutaneous infection or abscess. It should be evaluated since it may need to be drained.
