Hello, Thank you for posting on HCM.
From your description its difficult to point of specific diagnosis unless a proper examination is done, I think the 'lump-like' lesion you mentioned, must be sebaceous cyst.
Sebaceous cysts may develop as a result of trauma or blocked glands in the skin.
Sebaceous cysts rarely cause pain or other symptoms.
Sebaceous cysts often don't need treatment. A dermatologist or surgeon can remove a cyst if it's painful or infected, or if the appearance is a concern.
Hope the information was helpful.
Take care
