Hi welcome to the health care magic

If you post photo of that lesion than further possible differential diagnosis can be possible to think...

As you have lump and they are look like fusing with each other I advise you to investigate with FNAC or biopsy to do histopathological examination...

According to cause specific treatment given

If report suggest Benign tumours like skin adnexal tumour than needs to be excised and removed

Consult dermatologist or surgeon for examination and further work up...(After examination further treatment plan can be decides)

Take care
