Brief Answer:
Sounds like a lipoma, will need and examination

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Welcome to HealthcareMagic.

It could be lipoma. Lipoma is localised collection of fat cells. Usually it won't cause much discomfort.

I suggest you to consult your doctor and get examined . By clinical examination it will be diagnosed many a times otherwise needle biopsy may be needed. Once confirmed if it is not causing pain then no need to remove it.

Hope I have answered your query. If any further queries are there I would love to help.

Regards
Dr.Deepika Patil
