Hello,
It may be a simple boil or lipoma ("fatty tumour"). The cure is definitely surgical removal. However, as you are in early pregnancy, you can simply observe it. If it causes problems like pain, discomfort while sitting or increases in size, it should be removed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Sujoy Dasgupta
