blemish

Question
I am a 32 year old who has always had fairly clear skin. In the past year i have developed breakouts on my back even though I wash thoroughly and often. I have always had a mole like blemish on my back in the same area and recently it looks more like a pimple. i have drained alot of puss and blood out of it but it is hard under the skin. it continues to reform after i drain it. Should i be concerned? it is right on my spine and has recently been causing much pain. It busted on it's own the other day and gave off a very sour smell with the puss and blood.
Answer
I wouldn't say you should stress yourself, however I feel it would be a smart idea to make an appointment with a dermatologist in your local area so that they may have a visual and treat accordingly. Best skin care wishes.

Meagan, Esthetician
