What Causes Lump In The Lower Middle Of The Back Near Spine?

43 year old male. Hard knot or lump, lower middle of back, near spine. It appeared 5 days ago and grew larger than a quarter over 24 period. On day 2 it became red and stays that way. It seems to be deeper than the skin as it does not move. No pain unless pressed on, but then only slightly. Any ideas?

Thanks for asking in healthcaremagic forum

Boils are very common cause of lump with pain and redness. So, you can apply oint soframycin over that for relief. If not visit a doctor who can examine it properly for diagnosis. All the best.
