It's not a tumor. Tumors are usually nontender and not that close to the surface like you are describing.

Could be an ingrown hair where the follicle became infected, or maybe a cyst. Both are very common and treatable....I'm sure you will be fine. I would rule out any kind of bite because that's usually associated with pain, pus/drainage, blackening/darkening of the skin....and you didn't mention symptoms like that.

Could you let me know what the doctor diagnoses it to be?

I don't think it can be a tumor. It could be Papillomas; a growth of surface cells that is differentiated from a wart simply by having more vascularized core of tissue. But more likely hives, an allergic reaction, and it is a lesion that appears anywhere on the body, usually in groups, but occasionally isolated.

Recommendations:

Pay attention to possible triggers, especially drugs such as antibiotics that may appear in processed meat.

Try applying ice, onion juice, or an Urtica (nettle) solution.

An Acidophilus supplement may be curative if the problem is a reaction to one's bowel-yeast population.

Quercetin (500 mg per foot of height) in divided doses with food throughout the day may be effective.

Homeopathic remedy Urtica urens 6 taken every 15min may remove the irritation.

Ensure to sustain a high intake of water to flush the system.
