A member asked:

Slightly hyperpigmented spots the size of 4 dimes on mid-back, with pop-able blackheads within. no pain, itch or irritation. just blackheads....?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You likely: Have a sebaceous cyst underneath creating some change in pigmentation. Warm compresses may help to express the sebum that will give relief for a while but use a little alcohol on the area after to prevent infection, don't be too aggressive, but i bet that's the deal.
