How Can A Swollen Raised Area On The Back Be Treated?
My daughter, 50 years old has a swollen area on the right side of her back, about 5 inches down from her shoulder. The swelling is a round raised area about 3 inches in diameter. It is not painful to touch but just feels puffy. Have you any idea what it could be?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
According to your complaints it could be a lipoma or Epidermoid cyst. I would recommend you to consult a doctor and go for fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) test of the swelling to find out its exact cause.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
