What Does A Hard Lump On The Spine Indicate?

I have a hard lump on my spine, mid back. It does not move with the skin. It can be popped but never goes entirely away gets larger if u dont pop it. The stuff that comes out is a white powdery substance that smells horrible. It is painless. The last time it was popped I developed a spot about 2 inches further down my spine that is so sore I can barely touch it but there is no redness or lump there and doesn t hurt with movement.
