What Causes Discomforts On He Back With Lump?
Hi, I have had a little pain and discomfort in my lower back on the left side - and have noticed that I have a lump. It is on my lower left side of my back just above my hip - approx. 2 inches left of my spine. It moves around but seems to be attached to a muscle or something..... should I be concerned?

Hello!
Thank you for the query.
No need to be concerned. Most likely it is a benign lesion. It can be a cyst, lipoma or other benign skin lesion. The pain can indicate an infection (sebaceous cyst can be at this location and lead to an infection).
I suggest you to consult a surgeon, have an ultrasound of this lump and consider removal of it.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
