Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Usually a lump in this location is a ganlion cyst. Its a kind of benign lesion caused by a minor injury of the joint and tendon. This leads to a cyst formation which has a connection with joint and is filled with joint fluid.
I suggest you to consult general surgeon. Ultrasound should be done in case of doubts. Simple removal can cure it.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
