I have a swollen lymphnode on my lower back it's been there for over 3 months getting bigger i'm not sure what to do?

This is probably: NOT a lymph node if its "on" your back it sounds more like a sebaceous cyst (plugged sweat gland") This needs to be seen and a definitive Diagnosis made before treatment is advised! Hope this helps! Dr Z
