Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Your lump on shoulder may be some soft tissue tumor like lipoma, neurofibroma or dermatofibroma.
You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or excision biopsy of that lump.
It will give you exact diagnosis.
Then you should take treatment according to diagnosis.
Consult your doctor and plan accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
