I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You may have some soft tissue tumor like lipoma or neurofibroma or dermatofibroma . Or you may have some other cyst or tumor. You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy of that lump cand ultrasound study. It will give you exact diagnosis.
Then you should take treatment accordingly.
