I have noticed several, about 3-4 red spots on my low back. They are painful to touch and tender. I have noticed them about three days ago and I think that they spread a bit. What could it be? Should I apply some ointments on them?

That reminds me herpes zoster. Especially if your red spots are located more one side, unilateral. I had it once and it is viral infection, recurrent. It is cause by the same virus that causes chicken pox in children and the same infection if exposed recurrently in adults is herpes zoster. There are probably other possible causes of such a condition, but that reminds me very much on zoster.
