How To Treat A Movable Lump On The Back?

My 19 year old daughter has found a moveable lump which is pea sized on her back. It is not noticeable to look at, but you can feel it when you touch her back. Is there cause for concern here? I have really bad insurance and a doctors visit is expensive where we live but if she should be seen I will take her. Thanks!

HI.
This is a sebaceous cyst or a lipoma.
You can have a wait and watch policy, Can get this excised and be disease free.
Nothing to bother at the moment if there is no increase in size , no pain , no redness.
