Suggest Treatment For Skin Boils

I Have had a large boil on my back for two or three years It s been hard all this time but recently softened up and ive managed to squeeze some puss out of it this evening However, i dont want to squeeze it any harder now as I heard it could go into the blood and cause a poisoning?

Hi,

The boil like lesions on back may be sebaceous cysts most probably. However you consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis.

After thorough examination and investigations,he might remove the cysts surgically under local anaesthesia. It is a minor OPD procedure.

Thanks.
