Hello welcome to the health care magic
If you post photo of mass than further comment will be easy
For mass if needed I will suggest you to consult nearby surgeon or pediatric surgeon for examination
If needed to rule out nature of lesion (means Benign tumour or malignant) biopsy or FNAC will be taken...
According to FNAC of biopsy report further management can be planned
Take care
Hope this will help you
