Putting things off rarely makes them easier. More often, the problem we avoid today becomes a bigger one tomorrow.
Two swollen, purple lumps on the lower back are a good example. What starts as one sore spot can quickly turn into two.
These lumps are usually infected cysts or boils that form around blocked hair follicles under the skin.
When the infection grows, several yellow heads can appear on the surface, and the skin around them turns dark red and hot.
Sitting, lying on your back or wearing a belt can press on the area and make the pain much worse.
