What Causes A Recurring Painful Cyst Oozing Blood And Oily Substance On Back?
Had something like a cyst come up on my back 2 years ago. It must have gotten infected because it was extremely painful and then it drained this terrible bloody, oily, substance, but I tested it with antibiotic cream and seemed okay. Afterward there was a round indent ion in my back. Not is still there and now it seems that a new cyst is Swelling up again. It s a little painful right now - but not terribly. What should I do. I am on vacation for two weeks. Won t be able to see my regular dr till then.

Hello,
I think you should have it surgically removed in order not to be repeated again. If it is not possible to meet a doctor you can use antibacterial creams and icamolol which can help it burst and drain. If it doesn't get better the oral antibiotics may be used to prevent further infection.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
