Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
This looks to be again a collection of tissue like fat.
I would advise to get ultrasonography and FNAC just to confirm what it is.
You can wait and watch. It may regress.
If it does not regress or increases in size, redness or develops some symptoms , you can get an opinion of a Doctor and may be get this excised .
