Q: lump on lower back

i have like a "bulge" on my lower back, just on the right side and it felt like fluid under the skin, i was laying in bed and i think it "leaked" and in the end i squeezed it and it was clear fluid, not gooey but a little thicker than water, now on my back it feels like there's a slight indent and a small scab where the opening was, a little worried as i'm 17 years old and shy, i don't want to see a doctor unless it's serious, but if it's overly serious i think i'd rather not know as it would be scary.

i can try and answer any other questions.

Go and see a doctor, none of us can tell what it is, the sooner you get it checked it out the better, it could be treated simply and easily now, if you wait it could get complicated, and you may have to see a number of doctors and endure a lot more treatment.

Hello Dave,

I TOTALLY agree with Rollar. DO see your doctor and do so without delay. Far batter to take care of your concern now rather than wait until it REALLY becomes a problem.

Keep in touch and do let us know how things go for you.
