A small lump
Doctor, I have a very small lump in the middle of my lower back, just above my hips. I’ve had it for around 4–5 years. It doesn’t hurt and I haven’t noticed any significant increase in size. I first noticed it after I had a boil/infection in that area4-5 yrs back.It feels harder when I bend forward and softer when I sit.ive attached it's picture
Could you please tell me what it could possibly be ?is it a scar tissue ? Or something else

Hi, I am a Plastic and aesthetic surgeon. The picture isn’t very clear as to give a diagnosis. But it is likely to be a sebaceous cyst which will need removal. It is a small procedure done under local Anaesthesia by a certified plastic surgeon.
Next Steps
