Is There Any Remedy For Red And Puffy Cyst In Stomach With Smelly Pus And Clear Liquid Discharge?
I have this thing on my stomach that started out like a blackhead..I tried squeezing it but nothing happened, a few days late it turned into something like a cyst or a boil..When I tried to squeeze, a very little pus like substance came out. The next day, even tho it looked a little red and puffy , I went to squeeze it again and just a very little clear liquid came out that smelled really bad. So would this be a cyst or a boil and what should I do for it ?

Hi,
Looks like you have developed a sebaceous cyst.
It is generally a harmless lesion but can sometimes get infected.
It needs to be treated if there is any pain, swelling or discharge.
You might need a course of oral antibiotics.
Surgical removal may also be required at later stages in order on prevent recurrence.
You should see a dermatologist for the same.
Take oral pain killers for the associated pain.
