How To Treat A Pus Filled Mole In The Head?

Hi,I had a flat, brown mole on the side of my head and then a few years ago it started to grow. It started to look more like liquid inside instead of a normal mole. I applied some black salve on it and it did shrink in size but did not fall off. It continues to grow back and is a whitish color now. I was wondering if it would be safe to pop and then apply more ointment. Thank you

it is nothing but an infected sebaceous cyst or a benign nevus and there is nothing to worry much about this!

just go for a shave / excision biopsy after having a course of antibiotics.

all the best!
