What Causes A Painful Lump Near The Spine Of An Adolescent?
My seventeen year old daughter has a small bump under her skin near her spine. It only hurts when she applies pressure. There doesn t appear to be a puncture hole from a bite... It is not discolored or red, it does not hinder her sleep. Although it hurts when pressure is applied, it also feels numb similar to when your hand is asleep.

Hi,
Your daughter seems to have minute injury to a peripheral nerve...which find a little bump..which is painful on pressure /gets numb sometimes.
Most of the time it resolves on its own within a few months. Anti inflammatory pills over the counter with bit. B12 pill taken for 8-10 days can hasten the healing.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
