Hi

Thanks for writing in

The information you have provided points to a subcutaneous swelling, which could be a Lipoma, fibroma or a cyst

To come to a conclusive diagnosis you need to get examined by a surgeon and/or go for an ultrasound examination

In most cases simple excision is the only cure
