Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history, albeit short.
Please give additional information for me to assist you better:
Since when have you noticed it?
Slowly/gradually growing or grew suddenly?
Size of bump?
Is it freely XXXXXXX or fixed either to bone or skin (moves with skin movement over bone)?
Is there any small black spot or dimple over it as seen on skin?
Any pain or tenderness (pain on pressure?
Please post clear and focused photos of the lump in JPEG format attached to this query.

Awaiting for your detailed feedback.

Thank you. I tried taking photo, but it doesn’t come out. It seems to be fixed on the end of the collar bone and doesn’t really move. It hurts just a little when I press hard.
I’ve had it for a two months and hasn’t gotten bigger. It’s pea size.
Thank you.

Brief Answer:
As discussed

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your feedback.
This is indicating the lump coming from bone.
Can be an benign osteoma.
I would advise you the following in such a situation:
Get X-rays to get an idea, and if X-ray is indicative then CT scan or MRI to have detailed diagnosis.
It is better to have an early diagnosis.

I hope this answer helps you.
