What Is The Large, Raised Red Bump On Back Which Looks Like A Pimple?
I have a large raised red bump on my back that looks like a large pimple but feels a lot firmer then a pimple. It has a tiny black dot that's slightly indented in the middle of the pimple. It is also very sore if I try & sleep on my back.
What do you think it is?

Hello thanks for writing here.Bump seems to be sebaceous cyst.It occurs due to blockage of oil secreting ducts.At times it gets ruptured leading to inflammation.Best treatment is surgical removal.Consulting your doctor is best option.Hope this will help you.Take care.
