Brief Answer:
You may consult a surgeon
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome,
Although this seems like a benign problem but a diagnosis is still needed.
Have you tried any medicines for it?
Is it soft or hard to touch?
Can you upload a photo of the lump here?
Since it is growing, I will suggest that you see a surgeon for a biopsy of the lump. He maybe able to remove it too.

Brief Answer:
Seems to be a papilloma
Detailed Answer:
Hi again
Thanks for erverting with details,
I have seen the photo and it looks like a papilloma. Most papillomas are caused by a virus called human papilloma virus. These are harmless (benign, non-cancer) growths and donot spread by themselves unless scratched. Most of them cause no symptoms but sometimes irritation or some discharge may happen. Treatment is a minor surgery. Chemical or laser treatment may also help. You can consult a general surgeon for its removal.
Feel free to ask any query in followup.
