What Could Cause Swollen, Painful Lump On Mid Back Near Spinal Cord?

I have a swollen, risen area or lump on my mid back near the spinal card. It seem to be traveling from the outer back to somewhat deep into the tissue. I had this pain for a little over a year now. Im very worried about it. I have been taking aloe vera juice every day along with a few other herbs to decrease inflammation which it does significantly but if i'd stopped self treating it gets much worse in pain. Any ideas on what it could be?

Hi.
This lump looks to be a sebaceous cyst or so.
IT is advisable to consult a surgeon and get this removed than having a bigger problem at a later stage.
