Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have some benign cyst or skin adenexal tumor or soft tissue tumor. It has no relation with your other illness. You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy of that lump.
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.
