hi,
I think you might be having a boil or skin infection of some kind but I am not sure of it 100 percent till i have seen it .I f it tends to be an infection of some kind then you might require antibiotics to treat topical as well as oral.Get to your general physician for better assessment as i dont have any access to your picture .apply some hot compress and take some painkiller for temporary releif and rest your back.Hope this information was helpful.
