Hi.
Thanks for your query.
The lump like a ball bearing under the skin can be due to a cyst, it can be a rupture of a vein but then it will make the skin appear blue.
I would advise you to see a Surgeon for this, have clinical examination and get it removed for 2 reasons.
1. You get rid of the lump.
2. you get a confirmed histopathological diagnosis.
