Welcome to Chat Doctor. 1. The history and features suggest the lesion is possibly fat content - lipoma. 2. I would recommend getting an ultrasound examination done - that will help to evaluate the nature of the lump, its source and extensions and vascularity. 3.FNAC - fine needle aspiration cytology will confirm the diagnosis.4. In case of lipoma - needs monitoring, if increasing in growth excision might be needed.5. Suggest to see your GP and get referral to general surgeon.  Good luck. Hope I have answered your query,anything to ask ? Do not hesitate to ask.http
