Well few more thing I needed to guide you properly are
1) the time since the swelling you are having
2) the consistancy of the swelling whther it is hard or soft, movable or nonmovable
3) whther you have history of such swellings in your family & elsewhere on your body.
From the description you provided the chances of above swelling being lipoma which is bening tumor are more. For which you need not to wory.
Still if you want make sure of your mind go for ultrasonography of the above lump which will clarify the picture.
If its lipoma you need not to trat it as it does not going to harm you. if the concern is of cosmatic disfigurement you may have option of surgical excision.
As of now dont worry about it.
