Welcome to ChatDoctorThanks for the query. It doesn't sound like cancer and this is probably some benign subcutaneous lesion such as lipoma or fibrous. If this was cancer it would grow more rapidly, and you would have some other symptoms and signs. It can be surgically removed under local anesthesia and then sent to analysis to be sure but if you don't have pain or redness around it, I don't think that treatment is necessary at all. Wish you good health. Regards.
