Red Bump On Stomach, Pus Filled, Painful. Is It A Pimple?
My boyfriend noticed a red bump on his stomach just below his belly button. It is red and looks like a pimple , but it is enlarged to the size of a nickel. He thinks it s a sweat bump, but it is very painful. We poked it and some puss came out and now when he squeezes it, a clear liquid comes out. What is this and what can we do to make it less painful and hopefully go away?

Hello dear ,
it looks like folliculitis, a bacterial infection.
Please dont squeeze it. This can spread
apply oint mupirocine twice daily for 7 days.
He will get relief with this.
Thank you
