Your descriptions do not suggest a cancerous lesion. Malignant transformation is highly unlikely. However, if you are concerned, seeing an oral surgeon is advised.
slight bit lighter i meant to say not darker
the tissue is almost the same color as the skin maybe a slight bit darker but basically the same color. and its a soft lump.when I feel it it does not feel like a lump it just appears like a lump when looking at it. its only slightly raised also.
