I found a small lump in my lower back just on the spine. not hurting at first but now it's becoming painful. what to do?

Cyst, pilonidal?: Sounds like it might be a cyst. This is a common spot for them. Warm compresses. Should come to a head then rupture with time. If this is recurrent it may need to be removed.
