Which Is The Best Treatment For A Raised Bump On The Side Of My Torso Right Under My Last Rib?

Hi, I was wondering if you could answer my question. I have a raised bump on the side of my torso right under my last rib. It is a large pore and if I squeeze really hard, a bunch of thick puss shoots out and it keeps coming back time and time again. Was wondering what this is called and if there is any treatment. you can see it clearly when I have my shirt off.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
This could be lymph node with the bacterial infection if the puss is draining from this, then it needs antibiotic and the drug of choice would be Amoxicillin with clavulanic acid the dose has to adjusted according to age and weight, this will get heal with this treatment if does not healed or reoccurred then it has to be investigated, have nice day.

Hi Dear
Welcome to the HCM,
It appears to be infected cyst.
Required to be excised completely.
After excision histopathological examination of excised tissue is important.
Hope the query is answered.
Thanks
