Hello!
Thank you for the query.
This lump can be a skin lesion like sebaceus cyst. However as you have also quite unsettling symptoms like weight loss and lack of appetite, stomach cancer or lymphoma should be also considered.
Please do not wait with your symptoms any longer. Consult your doctor. Blood work, abdominal ultrasound, chest X-ray should be done at first.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
