We cannot see pictures here on these questions. If you want to do a telemedicine session, the physician may be able to see it via video. However, your best bet may be to see his primary doctor or a dermatologist ASAP. Good luck.

We cannot make a diagnosis here. Your father needs to see his doctor ASAP since he may need a biopsy to determine the etiology of the lump, especially given the pain he is having. So, have him call and see his doctor ASAP. Good luck!
