Hi having a bump on the jawline can be lymph node swelling due to superadded infection on the scalp and surrounding area or due to lipoma.first rule out infection.use of antibiotic twice daily .use of anti inflammatory agent twice daily can cure the condition if no response do a fnac to confirm the diagnosis and treat accordingly
