Hello,
Thank you for the query.
No need to worry now. But my suggestion is to consult a surgeon nearby. Because as it is a lump or swelling it may have various differential diagnoses. So to know more about this from where it is arising, its nature,movements etc first show this to to your surgeon. He may advise certain investigations also.
Hope this helps. Take care.
Thank you.
