What Does A Skin Coloured Mole On The Back Indicate?
Hi I have had a skin coloured mole on my back for some years! It has over time got bigger! So yesterday I decided to squeeze it! Clear puss came out with The occasional blood. It s still quite tender, and hasn t stop weeping. And now looks brown. Should I get this checked out?
Hello, Thank you for your query. It seems to be a sebaceous cyst.
Yes please consult your doctor to get it checked and removed if necessary as it tends to form again.
In the meanwhile, keep then area Clean and dry. Apply antibiotic ointment (if you have any) and a clean dressing. Do not squeeze or touch it except to apply medications and dressing.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with. Wish you good health
