How Can Back Lumps With Pus And Odor Be Treated?
On my back, there is an area where there is a permanent type bump ( like a pimple but not quite). It's always there and when I squeeze the pasty off white hook out of it I notice a god awful smell at whiff. Other similar bumps have raised around the area as if it's traveling and the stuff I squeeze out of there smells horrible as well. Could this be signs of a staph infection?

hi.
your back lump is possibly a sebaceous cyst based from your description. it is best if you consult with a general surgeon for surgical removal of the lesion. medical management also will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
