A member asked:
I had a bruise on the side of my nipple which has now turned into a spot which won't go away and produced pus and i can now see a hole once pus gone?

Skin infections: Pus on the skin is usually the symptom of a skin infection. When red, warm to touch and painful it is called cellulitis. Treatment of this includes oral antibiotics and occassionally drainage. See your doctor, because resistant infections are becoming more common and require special treatment.
