About 6 years ago I had a blemish on my back get infected. The doctor drained it and it healed but with a raised bump. It does not hurt and no discharge, but lately it has been smelling badly like cheese. What is this and what would help this stop smelling? Thank you.

 Hello,A sebaceous cyst is a sac filled with cheesy material.Actually dead keratin which makes up for our skin and hair protein is the content.Possibly some left over remanant of the earlier cyst has regrown and causing symptoms.Surgical removal is an option.These are not serious.Ok?

Thank you Dr. M, I will make an appointment to have it removed. I am glad it is not serious, you have eased my mind.
