Suggest Treatment For A Pimple Like Growth On The Back

I have sort of like a pimple with a black dot on my back, and from time to time it bothers me, a relative has squeezed it before and after struggling a bit, white stuff comes out as well as lil bit of blood, but I never seem to get rid of it. I'm trying the castor oil packs for now, I was wondering if anybody has any tips on my current treatment, or any other ideas

Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
From your history and description, it appears that you may be a having a cyst on your back called as Sebaceous cyst.
It contains cheesy material made up of secretions from the oil gland. It could get infected by repeated squeezing and handling.
The treatment for it is surgical excision by a surgeon or a dermatosurgeon.
It could also be left alone and will cause no harm if untreated.
Hope this helps you.
Take care.
