Brief Answer:
This might be a muscle or subcutaneous fat!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

This might be a muscle of subcutaneous fat. I think there is no emergency as of now and I will recommend that you monitor only for now. If there is something else that we have to be concerned about, we will gather more information in the days/weeks ahead to think so. For now, be calm and observant.

I wish you well.
