Brief Answer:
Watch and monitor the progress...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for posting a picture here. The picture reveals a small, broad and ill-defined lump which could be a lymph node or a cyst. Without a physical examination it is difficult to differentiate cyst, lymph node swelling or any other mass. I hope you did not have any injury.
In this circumstance, this lump seems like a benign lesion. You need not be overly worried. If you are unable to see a doctor for examination, I will suggest you to watch and monitor the lump. Most likely it should disappear in a week or two.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarifications.
Regards
