Suggest Treatment For Pea Sized Lumps On The Right Side Of The Body
Hi, I am a 30 year old male. 6 2 and about 235lbs I have about three spots on my right side that feel tender like a bruise. I have had the tenderness for about two or three weeks now. I can also feel like a pea sized lump under each tender spot. Nothing visible. Any Ideas on what this may be?
Hi I am Dr Fahim and I will help you with your problem
I have gone through question. Need further information to reach a diagnosis - Duration of the swelling in days/weeks? - When it got painful? - Can a skin move over the swelling? If it is of shorter duration, it is most likely boil/folliculitis. If the swelling was present for some time, and now got painful it is most likely an infected sebaceous cyst. If such a patient walks into my clinic I prescribe tab Augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulonic acid) along with paracetamol 500mg 8hourly. Incision and drainage in case of boil and excision of sebaceous cyst in case of infected sebaceous cyst is the main stay of treatment followed by regular antiseptic dressing.
I hope my answer will help. Do rate it, if you like it. Regards
