Various: It could be several different growths from a nevus (mole) to other various lesions. I would see a dermatologist for a diagnosis to make sure it is benign.

Cyst: The growth on your back could certainly be a cyst that has a central pore. The opening is the dilated pore and with side-ways pressure may express some material. If the area becomes inflamed , then please seek medical attention.
