Sore spot: Doctors have been seeing alot of infections on the skin due to bacteria over the last few years. These seem to come up fairly quickly as a tender bump that progresses to a boil that should be treated. You should consider to have a doctor look at the spot if it does not go away with some hot packs in a few days.
