General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Such lump is most likely a ganglion. Its a kind of cyst filled with gelatinous mass. It appears due to joint herniation. Such lump is usually mildly hard, painful. Can get smaller and larger occasionally. It does not lead to a cancer or so.
I suggest you to have an ultrasound of this area. In case of ganglion confirmation, small surgical procedure should be done to remove it.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
