Hello and welcome.
Thanks for sharing your concern.
If the lump remains asymptomatic then there is no need for any treatment but since it is causing interference then it is better to get it removed.
It could be a tissue growth developed post treatment.
Therefore please do not worry and get it evaluated once clinically.It might require a simple excision of excess tissue and the problem is solved.
Hope it helps.
Thanks.
