What Causes A Lump On The Front Of My Left Shoulder?

I have a knot (lump) on the front of my left shoulder, not a cyst. It's solid and throbs. I have had weird deep throbbing down my left arm first, then this weird lump has appeared. I have movement without strain or pain everywhere I move my arm. If I pull both arm back, staring straight into the mirror, the bump, the size of a half egg is very evident.

Thoughts?

Hello!

Thank you for the query.

As it is painful, it may be a cysts connected with a joint or some kind of infected lump (like sebaceous cyst). Its hard to tell not being able to see it. For sure you should have an ultrasound of this area first.
Both mentioned lesions can be incised and removed.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
