What Does A Small Lump On Back Of The Shoulder Indicate?
I have had and small lump on the back of my shoulder for about 2 years. I have mentioned it to my Doctor before but it never hurt or changed. Lately it is larger..redish and is very sore and tender to touch. It feels warm and I am worried. My shoulder and arm is starting to ache.

HI.
This is the site for a sebaceous cyst.
This has now gone into an infection and hence the redness, warm, pain and so on.
You need an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines. If these do not help in three days, please go for incision , drainage and curettage. This may avoid the chances of recurrence later-on.
