Hi and thank you so much for this query.

Happy to know you are doing workout. It is always a plus to keeping fit and maintaining good health. However, it should be progressive, increasing the workout sessions both in intensity and duration progressive not to overwhelm the body.

From your symptoms, I will not label this a muscle tear because it cannot be painless. my thoughts are that this has been there and just because visible as you have started working out and probably getting the muscle more contracted to expose anything under the skin. The most common cause of skin lumps is lipoma. My suggestion will be that you continue your workout as advised above, monitor this lump and report symptoms. If it should become bigger or painful, then please seek immediate medical attention.


I hope you find this helpful. Please, feel free to ask us more question if they do come up.Thank you so much for using our services and hope you do when the need next arises.
I wish you good health.
