General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. I understand your concerns.
I hope I have answered your query.
This is not a cause for concern since in most cases this represents just a benign subcutaneous lesion such as fibroma, ateroma or lipoma and these can be excised by a surgeon so you should see if someone is available in your place. Some more serious issues are very rare and you should not be afraid if there is no rapid growth or redness around it.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
