Hi Richard.
Most probably this is a lymph node and due to tight skin it appears hard and does not move.
This is not a site for any cancer to be seen till now. So the chances of cancer are not there.
Just to confirm what is it you can opt for FNAC= fine needle aspiration cytology.
Just relax , this is not a cancer.
