Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some soft tissue tumor like dermatofibroma or neurofibroma or some bone tumour. Yousshould go for x ray local part first. Then if needed go for biopsy of lump. It will give you exact diagnosis.
Then you should take treatment accordingly.
