Should I Be Worried About Pea Sized Cyst On Aerola With Smelly Puss?
i am a female with both of my nipples pierced. i developed a pea sized cyst on the outer rim of my left areola. i squeeze it just about everyday and smelly puss comes out of it but it never goes away. its been there for a few years now. what is this, should i be worried?

Thank you for asking!
Trauma to the areola with the nipples and yellow smelly pus oozing out on squeezing indicates a staph infection but only thing contrary to that theory is its prevalence for years.Why don't you pay a visit to nearby doctor and let them see what this cyst is. It needs a complete examination and some work up with analysis of this smelly pus for details. Guessing any more diagnosis from here would be shooting blanks.
Take care
