[|Human|] I have an itchy sore on my back that scabs over very quickly (4-6 hours) and the scab is very thick and feels like wood splinters. I m always tearing it off when I scratch the itch. There is a hard lump way under the skin. I ve had this for over six months now. what might it be?
[|AI|]  Hi.it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for medical and physical examination. Based from your description, it could be a cyst (a sebaceous or a gelatinous type). These lesions can occur anywhere in the body and have the tendency to recur. Medical (proper antibiotic regimen) and surgical (excision of the lesion) management will be directed accordingly. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor.
