What Causes A Bump In The Back With A Smelly Discharge?
Hi, I am a 41 yr old male. I have a bump on my back at the top sort of just below the neck area bang in the centre. It has been there for a few years now. I did show a doctor when I first got it but he said it would be just grisle and don`t worry. However, I have noticed that when I squeeze it firmly, a white very smelly discharge comes out, rather like a fluffy sort of pus if that makes sense. The smell of it is horrendous. Can you help me please?
