How To Treat Bruise Located In The Middle Of Spine?

Hello i am 17 and i have a bruise located in the middle of my spine that has been there for a while. It just recently got really red, sensitive to the touch and when you press right next to it, it sort of feels like a sponge. Any idea what it could possibly be?

Hello!

Welcome on Healthcaremagic!

The bruise in this region could be related to a lipoma, which is a benign tumor.
But, I recommend consulting with your GP and performing an ultrasound of the soft tissues in this region, in order to examine better the lump nature.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards, Dr. Aida
