welcome to Health care magic.
1.First thing you have not mentioned the location of the lump, where you are feeling?
2.If its not causing any pain and slow growing its lipoma - no need any intervention unless causing discomfort and cosmetic reasons.
3.If its tenderness and pain with fever - then its abscess which needs urgent medical attention.
4.An ultrasound scan help to find out the constancy of the lump and adjacent structures involvement.
5. Try to get an appointment and evaluate.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
