What Is The Treatment For A Lump In The Lower Back?
Hi Doc,
I discovered a small lump in my lower back on the left side little closer to my ribs in 2003. I had shown this to a doc that time and he said while touching it
nothing to worry. Though it has not changed its size, shape or anything. No bleeding or itching. It does not bother me at all. But still walking with a lump
in your body for years, I really want to know what is this and how to get rid of it.
Thanks,
Amit.

hi.
based from your description, it could possibly be a cyst (sebaceous or keratinous type), a fibroma (fibrous tissue formation) or a lipoma (a fatty tissue deposit). it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for clinical evaluation. management (medical and/or surgical) will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
