Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. Possibilities include sebaceous cyst, hair follicle infection or a tumor. It would be prudent to see your doctor. Wish you good health!

"lump/swelling" : "Lump/swelling" is not a diagnosis, it's a shared sign common to numerous diagnosis. To be treatment planned an accurate diagnosis must be established. Please see a General Physician, Urgent Care, or preferably a specialist Dermatologist.
