Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic.
If this lump is red and infected then this may be an abscess and you need antibiotic therapy or surgical drainage. it thisis not red then t may be lipoma or cyst and in this case it would be good to see a surgeon to have it removed under local anashesia.
I hope I have answered you query. Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
