Get it seen: A sarcoma here would not be unusual even at your age; they usually do not hurt, and especially the surface ones are usually operable for cure if you get them seen early. You might have a hernia, a benign lipoma or other tumor, or any of a number of other things, all worth diagnosing. Best wishes.
