What Causes Lump That Is Hard And Doesn T Move Easily On Back?
i have a lump on my back which is quite hard, doesn t move easily and sore when pressed. Its grown quite quickly over the past 7 months. i have already had ultrasound and they ruled out cyst and said it was hard tissue. i will see surgeon in the next month. what could it be? i don t think its lipoma as its not easily movable and not soft, but hard.

Hi, when a sebaceous cyst is ruptured and infected, the surrounding soft tissue gets hardened and no more the cyst is recognizable!
However, it could be some chronic folliculitis or a skin fibroma.
Get an FNAC test for confirmation and get back to us!
