Brief Answer:
Looks to be a large hemangioma

Detailed Answer:
Seen the photo.
This looks to be a large hemangioma.
Since this is superficial handling it in a wrong way can cause severe bleeding hence do not touch or rub over it.
I would advise you the following in such a situation:
To get a confirmed diagnosis MRI/ MRI angiography is the best way.
Once confirmed about the diagnosis and its extent then only a proper management can be planned.
Please consult a general Surgeon or Vascular Surgeon.

I hope this answers your query and help you.
Fell free to ask for further relevant queries if you feel that there is a gap of communication.
With Regards.
