1 week it was literally a goose egg-went accross the whole nape of my neck! I went to er and was told to wait till it healed on it's own-it has gotten smaller,but now I have a Hole in the middle of it mt pinky can fit in! is this normal? I am worried,since it is still oozing green,white and red stuff.(Runs down my back). Any suggestions? I am using draw salve and peroxide on it and taking antibiotics,but it is still painful and can't keep a bandage on because of discharge.it literally washes them off.???????

Ughh i had one just like that on my back. They cut it open, and got all the pus and gross stuff out of it and it was just a huge hole, and my doctor said to go in every day that week and every day hed pack it with gauze...(get tweezers and shove it in) until it filled the hole. then hed put a bandage over the whole thing and i had to do that and it was amazing the hole got smaller and smaller every day and at the end of the week there was still a little bit of a dip, but it healed on its own, so i think you may wanna go get that looked at again.

Oh you poor guy. You must make sure that your sore is not Staph infection. It is very contagious to other parts of your body that the pus touches and to others. Get a second opinion on the sore, mention Staph. Get an antibiotic called Bactrim and a steroid called Methylprednisone. Hurry.

You need a competent surgeon now and not an ER. Infections of this area can be lethal.

It's prolly a cyst of some kind, my buddy had a grape sized thing behind his ear. A dermatologist can probably give it a good lancing, but it might be expensive I don't know.

See the doctor again and let him/her tell you if you are healing properly.Do not play with your health.

If it grows teeth, feed it a waffle.
In the meantime, don't rent "How to get ahead in advertising" whatever you do.
