An Area On Neck Repeatedly Fills With Pus That Has An Odor. How To Overcome This?
I have an area on my neck that repeatedly gets filled with pus that has an odor. It seems to fill the most whenever I have dairy. I often drain the pus by squeezing, but it just comes back. Often it would be barely noticeable because it is not really raised above the surface, but sometimes I can smell it and know there is pus under the skin. Do you know what this is or what I can do for it?
