Hello user,
In most of the patients with bumps in shoulder region, it comes out to be either dermoid cyst or lipoma, both of which are benign in nature and is treated only by surgical incision.
So you are hereby advised to visit nearby Surgeon to have your mass removed and due biopsied, if at all it bothers you cosmetically.
Hope my advise helped you.
