Brief Answer:
THis could be a cyst or fat deposit!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

The image doesn't really do justice as the bump is not easily visible. Regarding all the details gathered through our discussions, this is suggestive of a possible fluid filled cavity or fat deposit. Neither of these constitutes an emergency and needs no immediate evaluation if she has no pains. I will suggest that she remembers to show this to her doctor when sh next goes in for a regular appointment if there are no other symptoms to worry about here. This alone doesn't require a new appointment except if there is pain.

I hope this helps and keep me updated on what you choose to do>
