Hi coco, and a big welcome to the Forum!
It is difficult to know what it might be, but just speaking for myself and what I would do.
A bruised sensation I have quite often, but not a lump in the area that you've mentioned. If the lump is sore to the touch, I would make an appointment with my GP (unless you can at least phone the specialist and ask). The reason that I would go to the doctor is just incase there is an infection, which I would want to catch sooner rather than later. Don't mean to make you worry more, but that is what I would do if a lump appeared, that was sore - or hot - to the touch.
A skin tag usually develops, if you get one, on the anal verge and can be panful, but they do not, as far as I know, develop away from the anus.
Thinking of you. Big hug!
