What To Do For A Hurting Hard Bump On The Back With A Black Dot In The Middle In A 13 Yr Old Girl?

Hello I am a 13 year old girl. I noticed is morning that I had a hard bump on my back with a black dot in the middle. I was at gymnastics camp and it huts a lot when touched. I have been outside so it might be a spider bite. It hurts and I don't know what to do. Please help.

Hello,
Thanks for the query,

She might have developed sebaceous cyst.

It is a collection of dead material under the skin.

When you press this material comes out as black debris.

Dont worry its not a dangerous condition.

Treatment is mainly surgical.

It can be removed with the wall of the cyst, through a small incision.

Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.

Let me know if you have any other doubt.
