Answer
I am a rat care specialist not a hamster specialist but I will answer you this once.  Sounds like an abscess.  Is there pus coming from the wound?  You need to try to clean it out for him by using saline solution and putting antibiotic ointment in it.  However, he should see a vet. Try to find someone to help fund the vet bill.  If this is a tumor he will not live with it and needs it removed.

There is a hamster expert on this site so for follow up, please write to one of the hamster experts.  Here is the link to that section:
