Don't worry and less it grows: If it has been there a long time and it is not growing and it is less than 2 cm ( about an inch) then it's probably a benign growth that is very slow growing so don't worry if it does grow or if it is greater than 2 cm please see your doctor.

Lump: Not enough info to determine any reasonable diagnosis. Consult professional. Does it hurt, do any specific movements cause discomfort, is it post traumatic, etc.
