Cyst, insect bite, pimple, etc. The possibilities are legion. If bump does not completely disappear in 2 weeks, or if it at any time worsens compared to its current status, see you GP or Urgent Care.

You could watch and wait. If the bump more than doubles on size, becomes ulcerated, bleeds, other bumps, appear, you get fever or lose weight, see a doctor.
