Anytime a lump is growing should be cause for concern. Cancer is a disease that indicates 'uncontrollable growth' . . so if you have an unusual lump that is getting bigger . . yes, it could be cancer. Cancer is often asymptomatic, especially in young people . . so the only warning sign may be a lump or bump that is growing.
No one here can really tell you what this lump might be . . it could be benign or it could be malignant. No one knows.
You need to be clinically examined immediately and perhaps have a biopsy of the lump. You shouldn't wait.
Best wishes and I hope that it is benign. See a doctor.

There are lots of things it could be. never ignore a lump. Go to your Doc. Now. If you find it hard to go, ask someone else to make the appointment and go with you. Good luck.

Lumps should be checked. They can be malignant or benign. Lumps are possible signs for cancer. Only a test can tell.

I'm assuming it's not painful. Sounds like a probable lypoma which is a benign fatty tumor. You should have it checked though.

It could be a minor issue, but why don't you get it checked? It is always better to catch something earlier rather than later.
