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.
