General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi ! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

From the history and the size of the lump, I would advise you to get it clinically assessed with related investigations like an FNAC/CT scan if need be either through your family physician or a general surgeon in your area. It might not be possible to opine on this swelling without a physical examination and investigations there on.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
