Pinkish Red Pop-able Dot On Arm, Hard To Touch. How Will It Heal?
Hi, I woke up this morning with a pimple sized dot on my arm . I went to pop it and now the skin surrounding it has turned pinkish-red and hard to the touch. It s about the size of a quarter. It s still pop-able, and when I looked closely at it, I could see two little marks in it as though it were a spider bite . Should I be worried about the fact that the skin is hard, or is it normal and will pass soon enough?
Hi i think it has been developed into a furuncle to abcess .it can be due to uncleanliness or due to severe moisture content over the area.it should be treated with antibiotic twice daily and application of t-bact ointment over the lesions .if no response go for incision and drainage of the abscess
