Hi, my boyfriend has a huge lump on his lower back. he gets back pain a lot from doing little things and when his back hurts the lump gets very hard. the lump is squishy when his back is ok. the bump is about 2 inches in diameter. i poked it with a sterilized pin last night and clear fluid was coming out and it smelled like feces but a little worse. i tried to drain it completely but wasnt able its still huge but he said he didnt feel as much pressure from it. any idea on what it might be? or what we can do about it?
