Hello,
If the lump has not change in size, if it is soft, round and moving under the skin- it is usually a cyst. A cyst is normally nothing to worry about. Painful lumps can be due to hair follicles which have been infected. They are also nothing to worry about and will go away with the time gradually. Have a face-to-face consultationn with your doctor for an accurate diagnosis.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
