hi.
based from your description, it could be any of the following lesions: cystic formation, fibroma or lipoma. other tumor types must also be ruled out especially in her age. it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a pediatric or a general surgeon, for clinical evaluation. diagnostics and management (medical and/or surgical) will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
