Hi,
Thanks for writing to health care magic.
I can understand your concern.
A physical examination is required to identify that mass there. It could be some thing normal also. But it is difficult to identify the cause of that. I suggest you should consult your doctor and get him examined by him to identify the cause of that swelling.
Continue to ask further queries as required.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
