What Does A Red Swollen And Itchy Lump Indicate?

Hello.. I have this swollen line that is itchy but hurts. It feels like a lump. It's a bit red I believe and I've had this weird thing where i've had pain in the same exact spot before. The same pain that I'm feeling now but now there is a swollen lump feeling spot... Should I go to my doctor?

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

From your description it seems to be an inflammatory swelling, which could be anything from cellulitis to a frank absecess. This needs a clinical examination and so I would suggest you to report in the ER of a nearest hospital for appropriate management.

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.
