I have a friend that has a spot on her back that looks like a black head. It causes her a lot of pain, like a bad clogged pore, yet nothing ever comes out of it. We tried poking it with a needle, a small amount of blood came out, and she said it releived the pain for about a day. She went to a dermatologist who told her it was nothing. She's had this for over 6 months. How can a spot in your skin that causes you significant pain for 6 months be nothing?
Anyone with similiar experiences, advice, help or information would be greatly appreciated.

This is called a Melanoma the most serious form of cancer, I nearly died from this thing. I consider myself an expert in this area, so do not delay, go immediatly to a cancer specialist to be checked out before it is too late. When I was in hospital there were young people dying like flies because they left it too late. Take no notice of the dermatologist, they are wrong. Most GP's do not understand this problem, get a referral to a cancer specialist who will recognise the problem immediatelyand do something about it there and then.

Tell your friend to see a different dermatologist! Oh, and stop poking it with needles, or anything else for that matter. You could also try a poultice of just a rag soaked in hot water and lay it on the spot until the rag turns cool. Good luck.
