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?
