General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi. This is most probably an enlarge lymph node , could have been due to a minor un-noticed cut or so.
Do not worry , as it usually goes on its own. Consult a Doctor if there is increase in swelling , redness and pain as you may need an antibiotic cover and anti-inflammatory medicines.
Please do not fiddle or press it more , may activate infection in dormancy
