What Causes A Painful Lump Resembling A Bite On The Leg?
Hi, I have a painful lump on my leg, that appears to have a bite in the center. It s rock hard in a lg circle the size of a quarter. It is also slightly itchy. I ve only treated it with bacitracin and bandaid after washing it. Walking I can feel it cuz it s on my calf. Any suggestions on a better way to treat it? It s red, but not a target inside another circle. I vaguely remember something sticking me in the middle of the night.
It may be sebaceous cyst which is getting infected on and off. If you don't have infection as of now then go ahead with excision surgically. And send for hpe examination. If infected, better to undergo drainage.
