Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for asking HCM.
I read your symptom and we will find a solution.
The lump that you describe might be a cist sebacea or a lipoma (fat accumulation)
In boath cases it is nothing to be worried. with a small incizion those can be removed.
So you need to consult a surgeon for this problem to do a physical exam and if needed remove the lump.
If you have any other question,don"t hesitate to contact me.
