Hi, dear I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You may have some organized hematoma or soft tissue tumor. You should go for biopsy of that lump.
It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice.
Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
