Lump On Back Near Spine, Pus Came On Squeezing. Lump Returned, Tender. How To Remove It?
I had a lump on my back just to the right of my spine and after two weeks my husband squeezed it for me ( not painful at all) and a lot of puss came out. Two days later he tried again and some more practically shot out this time. We thought it must have been a boil. Well now about ten days later the lump is back but nothing comes out at all when squeezed. When we try and squeeze it it feels little tender now. What should I do?
Thanking you,
Lyn

Hi, welcome to Healthcare magic forum.
Hi, it appears to be a boil, converted to an abscess. The treatment includes incision, drainage, and dressing by keeping a cotton plug for complete clearing the pus. You also need to use antibiotics and anti inflamatories for complete recovery.
Wishing for a quick and complete recover. Thank you.
