General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

If this lump is superficially located, skin lesion like sebaceus cyst or hair follicle inflammation are the most probable reason. If the lump is located in deeper tissues, hernia is possible. In case of hernia the lump should be soft and movable. It should be less visible when lying down.
Hair follicle inflammation if creates painful lump should be drained. Sometimes it needs surgical incision. Sebaceus cyst needs to be removed by a surgeon.
To prevent hair follicle inflammation you should wash this area with water and soap and keep it clean and dry.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
