General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi am Dr Fahim and I will help you with your problem

I have gone through your question and understood your concerns. It appears to be infected Sebaceous cyst. When you pressed it, its contents came out, but its walls remains there which is the continuous source of the secretions. If such a patient walk into my clinic, I do excision of the sebaceous cyst under local anesthesia and prescribe tab Augmentin 625mg 1+1+1 and Paracetamol 500mg 2+2+2 followed by daily dressing. Patients are usually better in matter of days. You need to see a general surgeon for treatment of your condition. Wishing you rapid recovery.

I hope my answer will help you. Do rate it, if you like it.
Regards
