Is this a recent aquisition? Small or adult? Have you ever seen a Bearded Dragon puff out its beard in display? This is quite dramatic and if you're not expecting it can startle you.
If not is the lump solid feeling?

He's just over a year old. Yes I have saw him puff out his beard before, but its as if it wont go away, its very swollen looking, he's also very lathargic.

If his activities has change and he is lethargic, then I would recommend a vet check. Its hard to say without seeing it. Can you take a picture and post it.
