I have minimal swelling on my face from what i think is a cyst, that when I press on it, white stuff that does not smell good, would come out.  Now it is a little red, but not very red, a little tender and when i pressed on it to get something out, some blood and a little of yellow drainage came out.  What do you think it is, and what to do?  Would you know how much is cost to take it out?
Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concern. As per your complaint a small swelling over the face that oozes out white smelly stuff can be a Boil or a Carbuncle or can also be Folliculitis. The most common cause of all these conditions is bacterial infection while at times there can also be fungal infection. As it is oozing out pus the most probable cause seems to be bacterial infection around hair follicle. I would suggest you to clean the area with an antiseptic solution and press gently to remove pus. Apply triple antibiotic ointment over it. You can also take a short course of antibiotics like Sulphamethoxazole and Trimethoprim. Take painkillers like Diclofenac or Ibuprofen if there is pain. In case if it does not resolve in a week consult a General Physician and get evaluated. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards. Chat Doctor.
