It could be many different things, for example a possible fracture if you have fallen. The bone starts to heal and in doing so a hard nodular lump can form which will eventually disappear. If it is a break, and the bone is misaligned, then the new bone will reform, leaving a lump of new bone, which will not go away, but wont be painfull. But without seeing it, it is very hard to guess. Go see your local doctor. It could be an insect bite that has become infected, or a million other things. Go see you local GP, and get confirmation.

Where in the body can the bone cell be found?

Bone cells, which are found within the bone tissue, are responsible for the make-up of the skeleton of vertebrates. There are different types of bone tissue in a bone that are made up of different bone cells: there is the compact tissue which is the hard outer part of the bone, the cancellous tissue which is all the spongy tissue inside of the compact tissue, and the subchondral tissue which is the smooth tissue at the end of each bone. Bone cells all work together inside of the bones to help keep up the skeletal system. The bone cells do many things for the skeletal system such as the development of new bones, the maintenance of bones, and the regulation of minerals in the body.


How are cells in heart tissue different from cells in bone tissue?

The cells in heart tissue, such as cardiomyocytes, are specialized for pumping blood and maintaining the heart's rhythmic contractions. In contrast, cells in bone tissue, such as osteoblasts and osteoclasts, are involved in bone formation, remodeling, and mineralization. Heart tissue cells are primarily involved in contraction and conduction, while bone tissue cells are responsible for maintaining the structural integrity and strength of bones.
