Have A Lump On The Right Abdomen At Bikini Line. No Medication. What Could Be The Cause And The Treatment For This?

Seeing internist in am. Have developed a swelling or soft/firm lump in lower right abdomen at bikini line. I think there are lymph modes there? About 1 " diameter. Possible causes and treatment options. No pain just noticed it when I bumped into a counter. Have had for a couple of weeks but just really noticed it this weekend.
