Hello,
The bump may be a sebaceous cyst which is a sac that can occur in the skin. It is not cancerous but it collects material. It may also be an abscess which is a collection of pus.
It would be best to see your doctor to find the exact cause so that you can be treated appropriately.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Michelle Gibson James
