Husband has these knots that come up on his back, they are hard, and the pore in big. It takes a while but after about 2 weeks it is very painful. When try to squeeze the stuff out, it smells really bad. It doesn't always pop, the first time. A few times he has had to have it lanced to relieve the pain. What could these be and what could help from him getting them? thank you
Hi according to ur description it is sebaceous cyst.it should be differtiated with carbuncle as both of these can occur at back.but smelly discharge indicates sebecous cyst.it usually occurs whereas sebecous glands are more.on squeezing u get white semisolid discharge.no medical treatment works.the only treatment is surgery ie exicision
