Small Lump Over Calvicle. Does Not Hurt On Squeezing. Should I Be Concerned?

Hi,
I have a small lump that appeared over my clavicle on the left side. It does not hurt and does not appear to be attached to anything as I am able to squeeze my fingers around it. It first appeared this past weekend (11/16-17). I first thought it to be a larger zit so I squeezed it a couple of times but nothing came out -- it just swelled up for awhile and then shrank back down. I guess I would say it is the size of an small olive. Should I be concerned?
