I didn't ride for nearly 2 weeks, the swollen lump had nearly completely gone, but rode 40 miles yesterday and its come back.

Has anyone else suffered with this and what did you do to fix it?

Just seems wired its all of a sudden started happening but nothing has changed?
On one side? Always the same side? Your seat is probably too high and you are dropping to one side slightly to compensate. Saddle sores are most often caused by a seat height that is too high.
