What Causes Small Bump On Abdomen That Is Excreting Terrible Smelling Puss?
i have noticed a small bump on my abdomen at the top on the right side and it is excreting a terrible smelling puss when i squeezed it. it doesn't hurt or cause me any real discomfort. I just noticed it yesterday. Can you give me an idea of what it could be and should i just leave it alone? thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for writing to HCM.
It is mostly a boil....drain it completely till it bleeds and apply any antiseptic ointment over it...if its a big one...take a course of oral antibiotics and antiinflammatory drugs.
