Brief Answer:
It could be Lipoma.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Swelling in the back near the spine could be a Lipoma.
Exact diagnosis will be confirmed by Clinical examination and FNAC (Fine needle aspiration cytology ).If it is confirmed, excision has to be done.
Another possibility is Sebaceous cyst which occurs in relation to hair follicle.
Please post a pic if possible.
As there is no pain,it is not an infective lesion.
Please consult your doctor, get examined clinically and proceed accordingly.
