Suggest Treatment For Red Painful Bump On The Back
Hi: I developed a bump on the back of my arm about 2 weeks ago. It is the size of a dime it is red with a tiny white spot on it. It does not hurt it did itch a tiny bit last week, but when you press on it you can feel a lump underneath, I can feel the pressure, but it does not give me any pain. I do not know what I should do. It seems like it should have went away. It has not gotten bigger but is still there.
It may be due to dermatitis. For that you can apply hydrocortisone ointment locally. Take Loratidine for itching. Avoid sweating. Avoid harsh cosmetic products. Maintain proper hygiene.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
