The bite went down and even tally cleared only to find tonight while showering that there was a lump inside my skin(rather large one) containing white milk like liquid& clear liquid?

Hi,
Thanks for writing here.
Lump with fluid can be due to bacterial infection.
Other possible diagnosis is a cyst.
You can take a course of oral antiboitics and wait for its resolution.
If it will not resolve it can be removed surgically.
In any case do not try to squeeze or rupture the lesion.
Hope this will help you.Take care.
