Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about lump and all the inconveniences this has caused you and your son. The fact that it is more evident during workouts and it is painless makes it more likely to be a muscle and nothing much to bother about. For now, monitoring a lone is sufficient and needs no immediate medical attention unless something else comes up.

I hope this helps. I wish you and your son well and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
