It's a deep blackhead.
Did you ever find an answer? I'm going in a year. Its just won't stop. Now its getting really bad. Was just my hand and had spread to every part of me. I've had skin swab after, deep tissue samples, even an x ray. Gen drs, skin drs, infectious disease specialist. No one can tell what it is. The test always with nothing, write me different antibiotics and send me on my way. Any insight would be so appreciated,
R U Kidding me! SMH!
Your father needs to man-up and see a dermatologist ASAP. It might be pre-cancerous keratosis - the bump might include some concer cells. It can be removed by a dermatologist. Even if it has some cancer cells, that will almost surely be the end of it. But if it's allowed to remain there, those cancer cells can enter the bloodstream or the lymphatic system - and that can be fatal. So he should see a dermatologist - skin cancer isn't fatal if it's treated early.

shadap, i can answer however i wanna
I had the same thing. A scab grew on my leg and would not heal. After several months I showed it to my doctor who referred me to a dermatologist. He ruled out cancer and said he was going to refer me to a plastic surgeon to have it scraped off. After 6 weeks I still had not heard back and the scab got bigger and puss started coming out. I then went to a pharmacist who recommended polysporin anti-biotic gel. I applied it and after 2 hours cleaned it off.The whole scab came off with it and it no longer looked so bad. Anyway, I kept doing this for ten days and it all dissapeared. And oh yes, I'm still waiting to hear from the plastic surgeon.
MRSA isn't curable......also long stays in hospital is main cause because magority of hospital staff is infective
