General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I don’t think this is serious. This is obviously a benign subcutaneous lesion which is common. It is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for medical and physical examination. based from your description, it could be a lipoma (a fatty deposit), a fibroma or a cyst (a sebaceous or a keratinous type). these lesions can occur anywhere in the body and have the tendency to recur. management (medical and surgical) will be directed accordingly. Usually this can be removed under local anesthesia.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
