It could be: It is also possible it could be a little benign fatty growth called a lipoma. Either way, it is likely not something you need to worry about. Keep an eye on it, though. If it continues to enlarge or becomes tender or discolored, it will then be something you want to bring to the attention of your doctor. Stay well:)
