hi.
"lumps" on your back and shoulder might be cysts, sebaceous or keratinous type. these lesions occur anywhere in the body, slowly grow, sometimes get infected, producing an odorous fluid/collection inside, hence the puss you are describing. it is best if you consult with a general surgeon for medical and surgical management of your condition, especially if its bothersome for you.
hope this helps.
good day!!
