hi.
based from your description, it could be a cyst (a sebaceous or keratinous type). these lesions are benign, can occur anywhere in the body and sometimes recur. if you observe it to be enlarging and if it is bothering you, it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a genereal surgeon, for medical and physical examination. management (medical and surgical) will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
