What Causes Thicker Lumps On Lumbar Region?

I have two lumps on my back. One is left hip lumbar region and about the size of oblong shape small pickle and is causing the skin to be numb like on top of left leg . The other I just discovered is on right side above lumbar region , very close to spine about the length of a mans thumb but thicker . Both are moveable, softish and neither hurt but can get sore if manipulated. Should I be worried? I have no insurance and no job at present. Could they both be benign lipomas? Please help.. Thank you , cindy

Hi, thanks for sharing your health concerns with HCM!

Well, If I were your treating Doctor for this case of multiple body lumps, I would come up with three possibilities, these include:
1.     Benign and simple conditions like lipoma or neurofibroma; there is nothing to worry about these!

2. hemangioma
     
3.     The last possibility is of sebaceous cyst! Nothing to worry about these also!

If still not convinced, I suggest you to go for an FNAC and ultrasound of the lumps for confirmation and to relieve your concerns!

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
