I have a lump in my upper back just under the skin for the last 5 years. At the beginning I have consulted with a dermatologist and he suspected it as a dermatofibroma and told me to keep an eye over it. Now after 5 years it seems to be grown minutely with mild itching sometimes with redness. On palpitation it seems to be 6 to 8 mm in size. Today I have consulted with a different dermatologist and he assured me that it is a sebaceous cyst and the only option is to remove it if I want (optional) and referred me to surgeon. Now I am very confused and really want to remove it surgically. I have interacted with a group of people's who told that they also told by their dermatologist as a cyst but came as dfsp. And the highly recommended me mohs surgery. Please help me with a doctor who has experience in dfsp surgery and mohs. Please help me.
