Hello!
Thank you for the query.
It is quite hard to tell not seeing it. Such lump can be a lymph node, lipoma, sebaceous cyst.
Lymph node is usually hard, soft and movable rounded structure.
Lipoma and sebaceous cyst are soft in touch. Sebaceus cyst can have a kind of small black dot on its surface.
The best way to find out what this lump is build of, is to have soft tissues ultrasound.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
