If this is a small area on the skin but your hamster otherwise looks fine (moving OK, eating and drinking normally, bright and alert, etc), you can keep an eye on it for a few days and see if it resolves on its own. It may just be an irritated area from a scrape or scratch that will heal on its own.
However, if your hamster has other signs of illness, or the lump doesn't start looking better within 48 hours, you should make an appointment with your veterinarian to have the lump evaluated. This could be anything from a skin infection to cancer.
