How Can A Pimple Like Bump On The Back Be Treated?

Hello, And thanks in advance for any help you can provide here. In the last day, a rather large bump has appeared on my back. It looks like a very large pimple but without the whitehead. It s not so painful to the touch but to one side it does hurt. Should I worry?

Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Pimple like bump what you are having on the back appears to be a furuncle.
Kindly do the following to overcome it.
1.Clean the area with mild antiseptic solution like Savlon twice daily.
2. Apply Clindamycin cream over the lesion as a thin layer twice daily.
3. Take anti-inflammatory medication Tablet. Ibuprofen twice daily after food.
Gradually, your symptoms should subside and be back to normal.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
