Brief Answer:
This is not harmful.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.

Thank you for the query.

This lump is most likely a lipoma. This is a benign soft tissues leasion. It does not turn into a cancer. It will be slowly getting bigger. You may have it removed by a general surgeon.

But for sure there is nothing to worry and it can be left alone.

Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
