A bump is usually caused when you've banged against something. You get a bump on your head if you bang into the edge of a cupboard door.
A lump is a bit that sticks out noticeably, but you've not bumped it. Like I had a little lump on my arm when a spider bit me.
A swelling is more general and less obvious to see the edges. It's usually liquid-filled. Like if you have a swollen ankle.
So I could have a bump on my ankle, if I've banged into something. I could have a lump on my ankle and I'd want to see a doctor. I might have bumped it and have a lump. Or I could have a swollen ankle after I've sprained it.
