What Is The Hard Purple Bump With Black Stuff In It?

Purple bump on my bottom. Just one. Had it about two months. You could tell there was some kind of fluid under it, but it had no head to pop it. So, I poked a hole in it with a lancet and squeezed alot of puss. After squeezing I noticed something black and hard. My husband said it was a core. What could this be?!

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. I read your case thoroughly and understood your concern. Your hx suggests that it could be a boil or furuncle which is just a bacterial infection in skin. I would suggests you to take care of your hygiene. Wash the wound with pyodine thrice daily. Apply fusidic acid twice daily on the affected area.

I hope it answers your question. In case there is any problem feel free to ask any time.

Wish you good health.

Regards,
Dr. Nadia Khan
