What Is The Treatment For Pus Filled Bumps On My Back?

I have a bump on my back that may possibly be a cyst. I had a small white head on it so, I squeezed it and it popped. Puss squinted out, I squeezed until puss stopped. It has now been consistently dripping puss for several days. What should I do now? There still seems to be a pretty large bump still under the skin in that area. What's the next step for me to take?

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
Well it is quite obvious that you have an abscess that will require drainage with prescription of antibiotics which can be effective against staph and strep as they are the most likely bacteria that can lead to an abscess. Since the abscess is painful, you will also require use of antiinflammatory pain killers.
A health care provider will be able to remedy this situation ones you pay a visit to a nearby clinic.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
