Hi.
Watch the bump for a while, it could be associated to friction, a montogomery tubercle due to hormonal fluctuations, or a cyst or boil. If it starts swelling up and becomes painful, then make sure you initiate hot compresses over the region several times a day. Nothing serious to worry about.
Best wishes.
