It might be an evolving zit!!
They sometimes start under the skin in a hair follicle before they develop a head.
It is most unlikely to be the big C. I'd watch it for a few days then show it to your GP if you are still worried.

Is it on the underside of your arm? On a vein? If so I know what it is.

It sounds like a cyst possibly (they are very common), just get it checked out :)

My Mum has something fairly similar on her leg - she's had it for years; it started off underneath the skin and sounded a lot like yours. Now it looks like a small, slightly red spot. She's got no idea what it is (amazingly, she's the complete opposite of me and doesn't panic every time she develops something!) as she's never had it checked out but it's been there for so long now.
I also have a flattish bump on my shoulder that feels like a bit of fat, you can see it through the skin but that's been there for years too.

If I were you I'd keep an eye on it and if it changes, pop to the doctor. As someone's suggested it could be a cyst but I'm sure it's not the big C!
