What Causes A Pus Filled Hard Cyst On The Back?
I have a cyst on my back that used to have a white substance when squeezed. Suddenly it has grown significantly, about 4 times larger and when I took a hot shower it started leaking a very liquidy yellowish puss and has not stopped in a week. The size has shrunk as it leaks but I can still feel the hard bump where the white substance used to come out from. Is this a cyst that would still have a sack inside that could be removed?

Hello,
Went through your post, it seems to be a sebaceous cyst which has got infected and is discharging Pus ideally you should start antibiotics.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
