Bump On Back Full Of Puss And Water
my husband has had a bump on his back full of pus for years, which is sore . I used to be able to squeeze most of it out, but it will no longer come out. Is there something we can do to loosen it up so it will come out. help please

Hi! eg.marshal,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic forum,
Your husband seems to be having a sebaceous cyst which contains yellow color sebum.But on long run these cysts calcify and becomes hard.You can get it removed surgically ,but don't forget to get the complete cyst or bag removed.
Take care,
Dr.Chawda
