Hi! there is nothing to worry about this kind of 'vanishing' small lumps and just forget about this!
We get such cases regularly where the lump is still there but not usually palpable as the size has decreased much and we get following diagnoses:
1. a tiny enlarged lymph node due to some mild local infection
2. skin edema or allergic/purpuric rash due to minor trauma etc.
3. vascular tumor-like lesions like hemangioma etc..
Therefore keep watch of the lump and if enlarging get it to physician's attention for relevant tests/management; regards,
