How Can A Lump On The Back Be Treated?
A benign lump
Detailed Answer:
Dear young lady,
From what you describe, it seems to be a benign wart or a lipoma.
Lipomas are collections of adipose tissue, in the form of a bump, without head and which you can't pop out. They are well round shaped and you can move them beneath the skin. Sometime they can hurt, but most of the time they don't. They just stay there, without bothering the patient, but just affecting the aesthetic part of the skin.
If the bump is not how I described it, please tell me more about the color, border, consistency and how much above the skin it is. You can also check on the internet for pictures of lipomas, but do not be afraid because often on the web there are pictures of extreme cases. Still, you will be able to create an idea about the kind of lump we are talking about.

Do not worry
Detailed Answer:
As you said, it may get bigger if he gains weight, but it usually remains unchanged for many years. It may develop rapidly in the beginning, and then it stays the same. As I said, the concern is mostly aesthetical, but a very small percent of them may get infected. In this case, it becomes red, swollen and warm, and he will need to take antibiotics.
Other than this, there will be no other problems.
