Hi, thanks for sharing your health concerns with HCM!

Well, If I were your treating Doctor for this case of painful lumps on spine, I would come up with three possibilities, these include:

1.     an inflamed skin papilloma or fibroepithelial polyp!

2.     The second possibility is of benign and simple conditions like lipoma or neurofibroma; there is nothing to worry about these!
     
3.     The last possibility is of sebaceous cyst or some other cysts like parasitic cyst or rarely could be a lymph node!

I suggest you to go for an FNAC of the lump 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.
