Hard Painless Lump On Back, Squeezed It Hard, Dark Moist Substance, Sore On Back Seen. How To Avoid Recurrence ?
I found a hard painless lump on my back and has been there for years, I recently squeezed it hard and a dark brown/brown moist substance came out which has left a sore on my back. What could be the cause? It was on my spine area. Could it have penetrated my spine? How can I avoid a reoccurence? It has left a sore that I'm treating at the moment.

Hello,
You probaby had a sebaceous cyst which occured due to a blocked hair follicle. However to confirm that please meet a surgeon or a dermatologist. It the lump is not completely removed it may reoccur, however it will not penetrate into the spine.
meet your local doctor a definite diagnosis.
