What Does A Bump On The Back Indicate?
Question: I have a bump on my back i noticed it awhile ago and its gotten a tad bigger and i have fatty tumors around my abdominal and leg redions that my doctor said were fatty tumors. Ive had those for awhile and the bump on my back feels like the same thing. It doesnt hurt its skin colored and its not very big. Its on my lover right side of my back towards my waist line
Brief Answer:
Lipoma
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. The bump on back with history of other lipomas, not painful, not that big in size, if still bothers can be easily excised and taken out. Just visit your cosmetic surgeon, they will do it under local anesthesia with minimal cosmetic incision and take it out. Else wise, if it does not bother you both cosmetically and pain wise then wait and observe is also a possibility and keep an eye, if the size increases or gets painful or associated with any other bump or symptoms, then get it out.
I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.

What other kind of symtoms?
Brief Answer:
No worries

Symptoms like pain, cosmetic discomfort, skin irritation, back pain, increase in size may warrant its excision and that is what i meant. Usually these soft tissue masses are benign and means no harm though.
I hope it helps.
