How To Treat Puss Filled Bump?
Experience pain in the form a a medium size pimple on the left buttocks. It gives out smelly discharge. And sometimes forms a fleshy like seal full of blood and grows. I have been experiencing these symptoms for more than six months. Today I treated the area with an alcohol compression, the area burned little, but it also seemed to lose its swelling.
