Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You may have some soft tissue tumor like lipoma, neurofibroma or some skun adenexal tumor. It is common in that area.
You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology. It will give you exact idea regarding cause.
Then you should 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.
