For the last few months I have noticed a hard lump on my lower right back. It does not hurt but sometimes I feel discomfort depending on psture. I can walk and run normally but sometimes it feels a bit weird.
I associate this with the problem my Dad had a while back. He also got this kind of a lump on his back, then this lump started getting bigger and bigger and in the end he made himself check it out with the doctor and it was confirmed that it was a fat tissue accumulated there under the skin. It’s a benign tumor made of fat tissue and could be found mostly on the back or the back side of the neck, they are not painful nor harmful and can’t influence on your health. They only look bad and are not pleasant for one’s eye.
The lipomas are usually in shape of the small peasthat are located under the skin and you can find them just in any part of the body. When they grow bigger, they should be surgically removed as there could be the possibility they could push some other organs and therefore make you troubles.
This is nothing alarming, but you have to check this out with your doctor first!
