What Causes Lump On Back With History Of Herpes Zoster?
Hello, I noticed a medium sized lump in my back while I was in the shower. It is closer to my lower back on my right side, next to one of my ribs. Last year i had zoster herpes so according to some of the searching I did, it could be due to that, where it started. Should I be worried and go find out what it is? It doesnt hurt but I m afraid it might evolve to something else. Thank you so much! Kyle

Hi,
In severe Herpes Zoster there might be having scarring on some affecting area might produce lump like scar.
So this possibility is likely.
Another cause is that might be due to sebaceous cyst or small lipoma.
Consult your doctor and get examined.
Ok and take care.
