Have Blackhead On Chest. Bumped It And Pus Came Out. Smells Bad. What To Do?
I HAVE HAD THIS BLACKHEAD ON MY CHEST FOR A VERY LONG TIME, I BUMPED IT LAST WEEK AND ALL THIS PUS AND BLACK LOOKING DIRT COMES OUT WHEN I SQUEEZE IT AND IT SMELLS VERY BAD. THE SPOT WHERE IT IS IS ALL READ AND BRUISED AND STILL SMELLS BAD, AND IF I CONTINUE TO SQEEZE IT IT STILL SMELLS BAD AND THERE IS STILL A LOT OF CRAP COMING OUT OF IT. WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT THIS

Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
From the description it seems you are having a sebaceous cyst. Its a benign cystic lesion underneath skin characterised by a central black punctum and produces a cheesy oily material on manipulation. Do not squeeze the lesion as the lesion may get inflammed and infected.
Meet a dermatosurgeon or surgeon and get the lesion excised.
Hope that answered your query.
