Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I had a very small lump on my back I could squeeze and get thick white (cream) out of. It turned into a boil several years ago. My medical dept. at work would drain and pack it daily. It finally closed but several years later now I have been left with a large lump. Recently it started to hurt.

General & Family Physician, Dr. Varinder's Response
Hi,
Please get it examined by a surgeon as it may be the chronic abscess.
In that case, it needs to be excised.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Varinder Joshi,
General & Family Physician
