What's wrong with having pimples on your waist after giving birth and during the postpartum recovery period?

Patient's question:

I've had a cesarean section for three months now. Since giving birth, my lower back has been in constant pain. Recently, a red bump has grown on the vertebrae in my lower back, about the size of a pimple. What's going on?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, I'm not sure if this pimple has any pain symptoms. If not, it could be considered a lipoma. If there are pain symptoms, it may be due to local hair follicle infection. If it's the latter, you can pay attention to local hygiene and keep it dry. After the inflammation subsides, the symptoms will naturally improve. If it's a lipoma, you need to carefully observe whether there is rapid growth. If it rapidly decreases, consider surgical removal treatment.
