Lump In The Spinal Cord With Mild Pain. How Can I Get Rid Of It?
Hi, I just noticed I have a lump on my spinal cord. It is in the middle of my back and when i push it, it hurts a bit but not much. It is red and feels as if the spinal cord bone is just bigger there but because it is red and a tiny bit I think it may be something else. Can you please tell me what this could be and how I can fix it.

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
The final diagnosis can be made after clinical examination of the affected area. However, if you can upload a photograph of the affected area, it would help.
The possibilities include a lipoma, sebaceous cyst, etc.
Please get back if you require any additional information.
