What Causes Lump On Upper Back?

I am 64 years old, and in the last year or so get lumps on my upper back about the size of a nickel. They are hard in the middle and sometimes itch.

My husband has lanced 2 of them found a hard white somewhat oozy substance in side. The latest one he did is healing slow and the skin around it is white about a 1/2 inch all around, what could this be?
