What Causes Tiny Hole On Temple Side Which Releases Pus?
Hello..I have a tiny hole on the side of my temple. When u squeeze it pus releases. I ve asked my mother about it & she said it s from a bump I had when I was younger that was popped by a doctor. It s a bit like prearicular pit but it s on my temple. Can you help tell me more about what this is? Why it became a mini hole?
Hello Thanks for the query. You migt have developed sebaceous cyst. It is a collection of debris under skin and usually presents as a painless swelling discharging thick white foul smelling material. It needs to be removed surgically. A minor surgery is done to remove it. If possible upload a photograph of the involved area. This will help me in giving a closer diagnosis and better way of management. Thanks.
