I have a cyst in the center of my back that smells and sometimes emits a nasty smelling white paste like substance. what could this be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sebaceous cyst: It's probably a sebaceous cyst...Harmless but annoying. The only way to get rid of it is to have it removed by a dermatologist: a minor surgery that just takes a few minutes.
