Bumps, Pain, Numbness, Swelling, Redness Over Mole In Upper Back. Suggestions?

I started having pain and numbness in my upper back that seems to be very deep but when I touch the area, over a mole, the pain is localized there as well. There is some localized swelling and redness over the area and now there are small bumps, look like pimples in the swollen area.
Wondering what it could be. Seeing doctor in 2 days but pain is bad.
