Big blind pimple on my upper back
I have a big pimple on my back since past 4-5 days...I tried over the counter medicine for 2 days , I did got relief but the pimple remains but there is no mouth.It is painful & bit soft.
At the same place I had a pimple couple of years ago & it was the similar situation.
Kindly advise what should I do?

Talk to experienced doctor online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
It looks like a carbuncle, which is a painful, red lump caused by a deeper skin infection, usually due to bacteria.
Next Steps
Applying warm compresses (a clean cloth soaked in warm water) 3–4 times a day can help it come to a head and drain naturally.
Avoid squeezing or pricking it, as that can worsen the infection.
As it looks like moderate in size, you may need antibiotics or sometimes a small drainage procedure by a doctor to remove the pus.
Health Tips
Let me know if you have fever, increasing pain, or spreading redness — that means you should see a doctor soon for drainage and antibiotics.

It is a carbuncle and needs antibiotic and other medicines. But prescription cannot be given in this section.
Next Steps
Warm compresses.
Consult for detailed evaluation and prescription.
Health Tips
May need a surgeon consultation if not relieved with medicines and may need drainage.
