Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You may have some soft tissue tumor like lipoma or neurofibroma . Or you may have some skin adenexal tumor. You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy of that lump.
It will give you exact diagnosis.
Then you should take treatment accordingly.
