Thanks for the query
I would have let it pass if u had said a small soft mass and called it a benign lipoma. Since it a 'large' ne and u r noticing it only recently then please meet a surgeon immediately for a biopsy, most likely it will be surgically excised.
On and off pain of the right side is unrelated and it could be because u might be sleeping in a wrong position
