What Does A Painful Bump On The Back Indicate?
Hi,
Had a little bump on my back for many years. Recently it started to grow, and became Jelly-like, and my skin around it got reddish-bruised liked. Painful to the touch. Today I touched it, and it exploded. (drained blood & pus). Still is pretty big. What should I do

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As per my surgical experience, this narrates possible sebaceous cyst with secondary infection.
Get its dressing done with antiseptic liquid and consult your family doctor at the earliest.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
