Hello,
The bump you mentioned is itchy? painful? Have you noticed any allergic reaction after going out in sun? Contact with some allergen might be a possibility. I suggest you visit a dermatologist for the same. The bump needs to be examined in person and if necessary the doctor might advice some diagnostic tests to know it better. Depending on the results he will suggest appropriate management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
