What Could Green Oozing Spot On Chest Suggest?
There is a small sort of green spot on my chest (it's been there for years) and every so often it will pretrude slightly and I will squeeze it to make it flat or less notable but the gook that shoots out smells aweful. What is that and can it be removed?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It may be a cyst that is recollecting .
Effective treatment would involve removal of the cyst. If it remains then it would continue to recollect intermittently.
Depending on its size and location, your GP may be able to remove it. If he or she cannot then you would be referred to a general surgeon.
It should be a simple in office procedure if it is a small lesion.
I hope this helps
