Suggest Treatment For A Small Painful Lump On The Back

I have a small lump on my back with a small black dot hole.. it kind of looks like a black head but it has a tiny open hole ..And when you squeeze it a string of white smelly pus just keeps coming out. But it gets to a point where I can t squeeze without breaking skin but the pus is still coming out. And it doesn t bleed.

General Surgeon 's  Response
hi.

based from your description, it could be a sebaceous or keratinous cyst. it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for clinical evaluation. management (medical and surgical) will be directed accordingly.

hope this helps.

good day!!
