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

From your history, it seems to be benign growth (a cyst) with a super added infection resulting in pain. As you are a sports person and have got an active life style, I would suggest you to go and get it assessed by a general surgeon/orthopedic surgeon with the related investigations for a proper diagnosis and treatment.

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. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
