General Surgeon,  's  Response
HI ! From your history, it seems that you might be having an infected sebaceous cyst which is giving rise to recurrent infections. Also you should go for a blood sugar test, which possibly is not done till now according to your reports shown in your query. If it does not heal and continues to drain pus, I would advise you to consult a surgeon in your training hospital, who after examining you clinically can advise you properly. Wishing you an early reply.
