Hi.
As per your case history you are having a Lipoma or sebaceous cyst.
My treatment advice is -
1. Don't scratch the lesion as it may worsen the condition.
2. As it is at waist line it will cause constant irritation. So better to get it excised under local anesthesia.
3. Biopsy can be done after its removal for perfect diagnosis.
Thanks.
