I would recomend you go to the vet to get it removed. However, be warned that the costs may be high. This depends on what sort of lump this is.
Is the lump soft or hard? Can it move about or is it stuck to the spot?
But, if the lump doesn't grow any bigger and does not seem to cause your hammie any pain, I would just leave it alone as getting the vet to remove it may be too stressful for your hamster.
