HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if the lesion is sudden onset or recently developed then it could be infection or may be some kind of injury and if it is chronic one then it could be lipoma, all of these needs clinical observation and testing needed, better to see surgeon, but this nothing to worry, hope this information helps
I find this answer helpful
