Should I Be Worried About Pus From Lump On My Thigh?
Had a large, golf ball size, lump on side of my upper thigh for almost 10 years... I was told it was a fat pocket, so never had it looked at... well a few days ago, an EXTREMELY smelly beige/white puss started to leak from it, so I squeezed and it shot out.... I kept at it, and now the golf ball size lump is almost nothing.... this puss was the worst smell ever! Should I be concerned?
