Could you please provide and image for this?

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this bump that you have described. Since it started just recently, chances are high that this would be related to a possible acute infection, allergy or trauma. I will like to have a picture for further inspection before commenting more on what the possible cause is and what measures need to be taken o address this. Beside this lump, is there any other symptom like itches? Was this area exposed or covered at the time you observed this lesion?

I hope to hear from you and provide more details and recommendations about this.
