Hello,
Is there any pain? Since when you're having this lump? It may be a boil or small dermoid or lymph node. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Consult with your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
