Sounds benign: This sounds benign but without an exam it is not possible for me to 100% tell you it is nothing to worry about. I would recommend you have a dermatologist take a look.

Agree with DR. S: If it is getting better, you may watch and wait. If the swelling increases, ulcerates, develops a discharge or you get fever, see a doctor. Wish you good health!
