Lump in the back

2021-10-18 06:50:49
I have a big lump like a ball of fat on my back which is very hard and it moves a little when pressed with hands. It's there since 5-6 years or more now. It's not painful or anything, but I would like to get it treated and know exactly what it is. I would like to know whom exact should I consult regarding this and how to go about it?

Just consult a general surgeon in his clinic. It is most probably a lipoma or a sebaceous cyst. It will be removed by a minor surgery under local anaesthesia.
