What Could Be The Small Bump Under The Skin Of Right Shoulder?

Hi..recently I noticed a very small bump under the skin of my right shoulder. Its not painful or sore and is not visible but can b felt wen I rub my finger over d area. Its so small...smaller than a pea and feels like a hard spot if I was to describe it but it has me so worried and was wondering what it could be? I thought maybe a lipoma????

hai,
A small mass under the skin without pain or any discomfort may be a lipoma as per your quote.

a lipoma initially will be in small size later it may increase in size upto 5 to 6 centimeter. it is a benign(non malignant) tumor.it is harm less.
but lipoma got different type.
no need to worry about it at this condition and no treatment recommended .
i advise you to look the for the nature ,size,characterization (painful or without pain) of the mass for certain period and if you feel any difference consult a surgeon to rule out the type of mass.

thank you
hope i answered your query
