Any Suggestion For Swollen Bump On Arm?
I have had a small bump on My ARM. It is located below My biceps on
My left ARM and above My elbow and forearm. It has become swollen in the last few days. Tonight I popped it and puss came out and then a little bit of blood after that. It seems more swollen now. What should I do?

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Hi, If I were your treating Doctor for this case , I would like to exclude elbow joint infection and I suggest doing elbow joint Ultrasound,certain investigations(ESR,CRP and TLC) to rule out septic arthritis.
It is better also to do culture and sensitivity test from pus sample and to receive empirical Antibiotic till the culture result reveal the proper antibiotic
