Hi, thanks for writing to us!
This is a very common lesion and If I were your treating Doctor for this case of a back lump, I would come up with only one and one possibility that is a sebaceous cyst! Nothing to worry about this and try not to get infected there!
I suggest you to go for a fine needle biopsy of the lump for confirmation and to relieve your concerns!
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
Wishing you good health.
