Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some soft tissue tumor like neurofibroma, dermatofibroma or scar problem. If your x ray is normal without any fracture then no need to worry. You should go for biopsy of that lump.
It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
