Brief Answer:
Fibroma

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

From the description you have given me and also from the photo you have attached it looks like you have a fibroma. Fibromas are a small collection of fibrous tissue

Here are my suggestions

1. Avoid squeezing and pinching it, it causes an inflammatory reaction making it bigger
2. Watch for change in color and also pain
3 Most fibromas and benign and does not require treatment, however if i were to be your doctor I would have excised it and sent the sample for histopathology to look under the microscope.
4. Excision of the fibroma is a small procedure, it can be done on Out patient basis under local anesthetia.

I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
