Answer
Dear Marisa,

A lump could be an abscess, tumor, fibroma, lipoma, or any number of things.  Some are benign, and some not.  I cannot see the lump to assess it, and I would urge you to get her to a good rabbit vet for in-person exam and diagnosis.  The vet will then know how to proceed with treatment.

Hope this helps.
