Hello, I went through your query, this lump could be lipoma, sabeceous cyst, neurofibroma etc... It is hard to tell without knowing the exact location, size, consistency.... And management varies depending on the diagnosis. You need to get examined to come to any conclusion. Please consult a general surgeon for this.
