I Had A Cyst Removed On My Lower Back And Now There Is A Swelling With Blood And Puss
I had a surgery last year on my lower back to remove an infected cyst and now ever since after the surgery i keep getting hard things that feels like the cyst in the same area and they will form a head and drain green/yellow pus with alot of blood then they will go away and come right back after a ouple of weeks or months. why does this keep happening when i had surgery to get it removed ? Also each time they come back the pain is more painful to the point where i cant walk :,(.

hi,
it seems to be an infection of the discharge is green it could be pseudomonas infection which you could have contacted during your hospital stay as it is a common hospital acquired infection, bring this to your treating doctor's attention as soon as possible.
take care.
