Such a lump can be a lipoma or a sebaceous cyst.
It is better to get it examined by a Surgeon who on examination may advise you to get rid of it and also to get a clinical diagnosis as well as histopatology tests done on the sample.
This helps in 2 ways:
1 you get the lump out of the body, you get rid of the the disease and you also get a 2. confirmed diagnosis.
