What could a hard lump on my shoulder blade be? It is red and I noticed it about 4 years ago and back then it was much smaller. When I first noticed it I thought it was a small pimple but it wasn t and now it is about .5-1 cm big. It feels like a ball is under my skin and occasionally the skin on it will dry up and I can peel it off, although it hurts when I peel it off. By the way I am a 20 year old female. I am 5 2 and 115 lbs.
