Pimple that smells?!
Question: I know, very strange, but I have this pimple on the back of my neck (have had it for a couple of years, despite popping it dozens of times) that smells not quite unlike feet when I pop it. Can somebody give me some insight as to what it may be?

Cystic pimples ( a type of acne) are large size eruptions that tend to keep filling up with "matter" and since they don't come to a head very quickly, the "matter stays in there and smells very bad.
since you've had it quite awhile, you might want to have a Dr. or dermatologist remove the "pocket". Normally they won't go away with time.
A pimple does not last a couple of years. It may be a cyst, an infected cyst, a mole or a number of things. This needs to be looked at.
It's probably a cyst and not a pimple. Pus smells quite bad. You need it removed by a doctor.
That's not totally normal. I don't know if there's a special name for it. My brother had a huge pimple like that behind his ear. The same sort of stinky stuff came out of it. He had it for a couple of years and eventually had to go have it lanced. It was kind of like a boil. Does this help?
The back of your neck is one of the most common places to get cysts. A pimple wouldn't keep coming back in the same place. I'm sure it smells because it is infected and festering. You need to see a dermatologist.
this sounds infected. please see a doc.
