What Causes A Painless Bump On The Lower Back?

Hi I have a dime sized bump in my lower left back. It's painless and makes the area around it feel raised. It's not hard but not soft either, if I push hard enough it might squish away. I did recently hit my back on something and bruise it a few maybe 4 inches above it the day prior to finding it.

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood your concerns.
Since there is a history of an injury a day prior to finding the lump the most probably reason is obviously a formation of a hematoma.
I would advise you the following in such a situation:
Get examined by your Doctor.
Get the ultrasound and aspiration if this is a large hematoma.
You may be given a short course of an anti-inflammatory if needed.
There may not be needed any further management.
Have regular review by your Doctor.
I find this answer helpful
