Hard Lump Between Shoulder Blades, Bruised, Scabby, Sensitive. What Is This?

My husband has a hard lump on his back between his shoulder blades. It has been there for several years. In the past several months, I noticed that it was coming to a head. He was golfing for two weeks and, when he came home last night, the lump was surrounded with a large bruise (2 inches in diameter) and the lump had a small scabby head. The area is very sensitive and still hard. What is this thing?
