Hello,
The three common causes of such lumps are:
1. Neurofibroma
2. Lipoma
3. Sebaceous cyst
Lipoma moves more than the other two but hardly develop redness which may be suggestive of an infection. Infections are more common with sebaceous cysts and it would better to have it removed.
Hope I have answered your query. Do get back to me if you have further queries.
