What Could Sore Area With Dried Pus Indicate?
I ve noticed a spot today that had dried pus, after I cleaned in the shower I inspected and found just beneath the spot a slight sore area. It looks like a cut but without a wound but more like sore fresh flesh. It s sore to touch. What could it be?

Hi,
This is a skin pustule. There is no need to worry. Just clean the area with water and soap and apply Betadine solution on it for 2 days.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
