Suggest Treatment For Cyst Like Mass In Upper Back
My husband has a large cyst like mass on his upper back , actually r shoulder I guess. It had started to drain a couple of days ago, I examined it and with even light touch large amounts of pus like substance came out, now 2 days later, still red, sore, smaller and still w pus on pressure. I used a sterile needle and opened it up a bit and drained out a pretty large amount of malodorous yellowish puslike material, again today....smaller, remains swollen and hard to touch.
It is very common to get boils(carbuncle) on back and neck region. Decreased immunity can cause these. If I were his treating doctor I would have put him on oral and local antiboitics with Inscission and drainage of pus. Visit a doctor for early relief. All the best.
