What could red lumps on back and shoulders suggest?
Patient: hi i am a 21 year old male and i have not really had any seroise medical conditions for a few years. recently i have begun to develope hard red lumps on my back and shoulders they dont hurt tell you try to squeeze them and wen they pop brown puss comes out followed by blood? is it seriouse? Doctor: hi."lumps" on your back and shoulder might be cysts, sebaceous or keratinous type. these lesions occur anywhere in the body, slowly grow, sometimes get infected, producing an odorous fluid/collection inside, hence the puss you are describing. it is best if you consult with a general surgeon for medical and surgical management of your condition, especially if its bothersome for you.hope this helps.good day!!~dr.kaye
