Hello and welcome to health care magic.
Your description of the lump is suggestive of a lipoma. It is a benign mass of fatty origin which lies between the skin layer and muscle layer. It is non cancerous and won't produce any symptoms in most of the time. If you feel any any discomfort with it, then please visit your surgeon and he will excise it by a simple procedure.
Hope this discussion will be helpful to you.
Thank you.
