Could The Big Lumps On The Back Are Cysts?

I have lumps on the back, 2 of them as big as 2 inches in diameter. One of them appeared 3 years ago, while the other one appeared about 4 months ago. Now, I have another one that is appearing, a little smaller. My doctor said it was cyst (before the 3rd one appeared). But there is no eye on them.

HI.
Why is that you are allowing them to grow so much and wait for the complications like infection, carbuncle, abscess to occur.
Get them removed for 2 reasons.
1. you become disease free.
2. you get 100 % diagnosis
This can be very well sebaceous cysts and may not show the ''eye'' in all the cases. Another option is lipoma only. In either case get them removed as they are on ''pressure-points''
