Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Lump in this location can be a lymph node or benign skin lesion like lipoma or sebaceus cyst.
Lymph node is usually quite hard, rounded and movable. It can get larger in case of infection or lymphoma for example (lymphoma causes plenty of enlarged lymph nodes in many location so a single node is rather not a lymphoma sign).

The best way to find out what you are dealing with is to make an ultrasound of this lump. In case of enlarged lymph node, biopsy should be done.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
