Hard Bump At Back, White Stuff Comes Out When Squeezed, Horrible Smell. Reason?
I have a small hard bump in the middle part of my back. Sometimes it's raised sometimes it's flat. When it's squeezed white smelly stuff comes out. Sometimes it's a lot sometimes its just a little bit of white stuff. The pore is always open and never completely gone or closed. It's smells horrible. I read this could be a cyst but how can a cyst be on my back and what would cause a cyst like this?
