What Is The Small Round Opening With Blood On The Elbow?
My husband noticed that there was creamy blood on his shirt when he removed it. It was by the elbow. In looking at his elbow he noticed a small round opening. Squeezing it, pus came out. Then a white stringy substance followed that could not be wiped away. It was actually lIke a piece of string. What is this?

Hi,
From history it seems that he might be having ingrown hair follicle infection and now small abscess is formed with pis.
White string like substance coming out might be slough.
Clean the wound with antiseptic lotion and go for dressing with antibiotic cream.
Ok and take care.
