hi.
based from your description, it could be any of the following lesions: fibroma, lipoma or cystic lesions (sebaceous or keratinous type). other tumor lesions must also be ruled out. it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for clinical evaluation. diagnostics (imaging) and management (medical and/or surgical) will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
