What Causes A Sharp Painful Lump On The Back?
This evening I have been expefiencing very sharp stabbing pains in a tiny mole on my back. It has never happened before. It has been happening every few minutes and is not subsiding after 3 hours. It is very unpleasant. Should I see a doctor tomorrow?

Dear user,
Thanks for your question.
Any changes in the mole anywhere on the body should be checked. By changes I mean, colour, shape, size, itching, pain, bleeding etc.
This might be an early sign of infection of a skin cyst but it needs to be checked to rule out any sinister cause.
While you are waiting to see the doctor, there is no harm to take a good painkiller anyways.
Hope your query is answered. Please dont hesitate to contact if there are any other concerns.
Thanks

Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query.
I dont think this is urgent and there is no need to see doctor at this point. Only if there will be redness, fever or pus discharge, then this may be sign of mole infection,otherwise, i tink that this is just skin irritaton and it should improve and subside since no serious consequances can happen.
I hope I have answered you query. I
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
