Brief Answer:
Most probably a cyst.

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query, albeit short and specific.
Noted your history and seen the photos.
As you have noticed this today only the lump looks to be a small cyst.
There are no lymph nodes in this area so no lymph node.
Please give additional information for me to assist you better:
- Is it painful?
- Is it tender that is pain on pressure?
- Any other complaints?

Awaiting for your feedback.
