What Should I Do As I Am Having A Lump On My Stomach Below The Breast Bone?
I have a lump on my stomach, just below the breast bone. It's been there, I have squeezed it and a pastety substance came out and smelled terrible. Now it has gotten larger, the sieve of a plum and very painful. I went to the doctor and she attempted to bust it by cutting a small hole. Nothing came out. She put me on antibiotics. I have been taking them for 4 days with no change. What should I do

Hello,
Thanks for the query,
You might have developed sebaceous cyst.
It is a collection of dead material under the skin.
When you press this material comes out as black debris.
Dont worry its not a dangerous condition.
Treatment is mainly surgical.
It can be removed with the wall of the cyst, through a small incision.
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
