Pimple like bump on body?

Question

I have a pimple like bumb that wont go away on my upper left back and on my side. Any idea what that might be??

Answer 1

a tick has buried itself under your skin.  this will have to be surgically removed by a professional ASAP.  The best thing you can do at the moment is not irritating it.  I've also heard that covering it in some sort of oil will help keep it from moving.  

Answer 2

It depends on how long it's been there.  It could be just a pimple or an ingrown hair.  If it doesn't go away soon, changes in shape or size, or hurts you need to have it looked at as this could indicate a form of cancer.  Don't worry though, that is the worst case scenario.  I'm sure it is something minor.  Use an antibiotic wash on the area for a few days and see if it doesn't go away.
