General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

From the history, it seems that you have developed a cellulitis (inflammation of the subcutaneous tissue) around the cystic lump which possibly was a boil.If I were your doctor, apart from the local treatment like cold or hot compress, would also advise you for a broad spectrum antibiotic and an anti inflammatory along with a proton pump inhibitor. I would refer you to a surgical specialist or to the ER only when these measures did not work.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
