i don't really know what they have been but like, you know how sometimes you get air pockets on pizzas? not as big as that but like, weirdly smooth feeling bubble of skin that if attempted to drain/squeezed has at the very least a decent amount of what appears to be blood in it (and possibly light brown/"blood lite" pus-colored fluid but it isn't really have the same consistantsy as pus, it's almost a watery consistantsy), which after emptying completely drained feels like a weird almost crater-esque ever so slightly caved-in area on the body. i probably made that sound a lot worse than it is but i wanted to try to convey exactly what i'm talking about. ...i don't suppose you guys have any ideas? I've had one on my leg and one on towards the bottom of my stomach.

It sounds more like a blood blister

I was keying on his "pus" comment. You wouldn't see that with a blood blister. Also, a blood bister is usually the result of a pinching injury. You would know if that happened.I've had a couple of boils that I applied hot soaks to and then when they came to a head, squeezed them (I know-- not recommended) and a lot of bloody pus came out. I felt, for awhile like I had a hole in the tissues.

It's difficult to be certain, but I thought the "bubble of skin" description didn't fit a boil, and the watery light brown fluid sounded more like blood serum than pus. I suppose the question is, was the liquid transparent or cloudy?
