Why Do I See A Pus Oozing Out Of My Skin Between The Breasts?
I'm a 15 year old girl, and I have recently had puss that comes out of my chest in between my boobs. There isn't a bump or anything that I can tell, but when I squeeze at the skin in between my boobs, a yellowish, smelly puss comes out. It doesn't matter how much I've squoze I can keep getting it out. Any ideas what it could be?

Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic
I would keep a possibility of sebaceous cyst. They can form in areas rich in sebaceous glands like chest, back and face. Clinically they present as asymptomatic lumps which have a central punctum and on squeezing discharge a cheesy, smelly material.
Treatment is by surgical excision, in which the entire cyst along with the wall is removed, to prevent any recurrence.
