Hello!
Thank you for the query.
A lump in this location should be always checked with possible enlarged lymph node. Such node is usually rounded, movable and painless. Can indicate some inflammation or even a cancer. That is why it should not be left alone.
I suggest you to consult your doctor with this issue. Soft tissues ultrasound should be done and biopsy considered.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
