General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

It does not sound like something serious. It may be some benign lesion like lipoma or cyst. It is rather not connected with the brain.
I suggest you to consult a doctor and have an ultrasound of this lesion. In most cases, it can be removed and tested under microscope to make sure it is benign.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
