A member asked:
I got a cyst on my back cultured and it said no bacteria growth, but then what is the yellow green pus? is it not from bacteria?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sebaceous cyst: It is likely that you had a sebaceous cyst. The fluid you interpret as pus is just accumulated sebaceous gland secretions.
