I have had this pimple right below my
stomach in the crease where the leg meets
the stomach. It gets filled with puss and
I can relieve the puss just like popping a
pimple. After a few times of popping it
it no longer filled with puss but left a
red mark and a kind of divet. Now the
puss is back. Any ideas as to what this
might be?
Tour condition could be an inflamed
retention cyst of the sebaceous gland in
the skin. When the outgoing canal of a
sebaceal gland is blocked, the sebum
can’t get out, and then the whole gland
enlargens and turns into a cyst filled
with sebum. If an infection occurs, the
skin above the cyst will become red; the
cyst will fill up with puss and become
painful. It has the ability to repeat
itself until the cyst is removed
surgically. You can visit your doctor for
a physical examination and determine how
you can proceed from there.
