Suggest Treatment For A Sore Lump Under The Rib Cage
I have a very sore lump underneath the rib cage on the left side that is very painful. I think it is a boil but has not come to a head to burst it . Just a small amount of fluid come out. It is too tender/sore to apply to much pressure. What sure I do now. It s been this way for about a week now.
based from your description, it could be a cyst (a sebaceous or a keratinous type). these lesions can occur anywhere in the body and have the tendency to recur. it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for medical and physical examination. management (medical and surgical) will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
