What Does Red Lump On Face Filled With Fluid Indicate?

Hi. I have a red lump on my face that is filled with fluid. It is very soft and is not painful or itchy and I don t know what it is. It is about 6mm in diameter and pokes out about 4mm. I am 32 years old, 168cm tall and 90 kilos. I am generally healthy and had a baby 2 months ago. The lump appeared while I was pregnant, about 8 months ago, and has recently started growing.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.

Brief answer - Carbuncle

Detailed answer - As per your query you have symptoms of red lump on face filled with fluid which is mainly because of infection in that area and that infected mass gets filled with fluids, pus and dead cells. Infection occurs mainly because of hair follicle or oil gland gets blocked and started filling with cheesy material.

I would suggest you to apply ice pack on it repeatedly to suppress swelling.

Apply topical skin ointments and creams may contain salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide, as these help reduce local infection and bacteria and acid help to decrease the amount of skin that has built up around a wart.

Corticosteroid injections are best treatment option to reduce red lump.

Antibacterial ointments and medications such as Amoxicillin will prevent bacterial breakdown.

Drink alot of water and fluids. apply cotton dipped in tea tree oil and apply on face.

Take probiotics such as yogurt in diet.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
