Hi and welcome to HCM. Thanks for the query.
It seems like some of the benign subvutaneous lesions such as lipoma,fibroma or arheroma. you can do ultrasound to verify this but it would be smarter to do surgical removal of this lump and then it can be sent to patohystologic analysis.
Wish you good health. Regards
