Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of pus filled bump on back which occur because of numerous sebaceous glands in this area and due to infection of hair follicle leading to folliculitis.

I would suggest you to

1) Apply bacitracin twice daily topically and maintain complete hygiene of that area.

2) Take diet rich in multivitamins.

3) Do Not prick rashes.

If condition doesn't get well in a week then consult dermatologist/general physician for proper examination and treatment. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics like minocycline, and steroid ointment.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
