Back is hairless it can't be an in-grown hair. Thought it was just a pimple, but it's very wide. Tried picking at it and a scab developed along with some shiny yellow substance next to scab. This bump is making it painful to perform daily activities (sitting, walking, washing dishes, etc) . It even hurts to wear a shirt because the fabric brushing against bump is painful.

could be an abcess
if there is a bullseye pattern it might be early lyme disease
in either case go to a doctor

it's most likely a cyst, they sit there for years dormant and then pop out of nowhere like that, get with your doctor and they will set it up to get removed

Just go to town with a knife and some sort of fire to burn the wound
Doctors are for normalfags

Looks like a small lactating thrid nipple has spontaneously formed on your back. Runners put bandaids on them to help with chafing shirts.

It's mrsa. Go to the doctor and ask them to confirm it

It's probably a boil - don't go at it with a needle. Soak it in warm water to bring the pus to the top, do that for a few days. When it eventually pops (which it probably will do by itself), make sure to clean it properly.

It looks like herpes type 3
It affects softer parts of your body like the back and your legs....
We're you with a hooker anon?

I would pay you $20 to let me pop it.
I love that shit, it's gross but so satisfying.

>>37228601
this, i wouldn't risk it. I had staph and let it go too late and had to be hospitalized for sepsis, wasn't very pleasant at all.

No. Don't think it's a bruise either because no recent injury.

I will try seeing a doctor on my next day off work. If a minor surgery is done but I feel capable of working , am I legally obligated to tell my boss about it so I don't work while recovering?

medfag here
this looks like a case of aids
seek medical attention immediately

I guess that really depends on where you live. Most likely would be able to go back to work, the cyst will just be lanced and drained.
