Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.

You might be having one of the following - fibroma, neuroma, myoma.

To allow me to help you better, please let me know something more about swelling.
-     Whether it is tender to touch or not?
-     How long have you had this?
-     Does it appear to be arising from a bone or bony prominence? Or is it just in the skin, away from any bone?
-     Is temperature of skin over lump raised?

Once I have these answers, I would be able to comment on it better.

Generally for a proper diagnosis, FNAC, excisional biopsy and histology is required.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you have any more concerns.

Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.

Wishing you good health.
Regards.
