Suggest Treatment For A Black Colored Lump On The Finger
Question: I have a lump the size of half a nail of my little finger black colour filled with blood which occurred yesterday and I have seen a similar one on the other side at the entrance of my vagina which disappeared in a week or so. Please answer straightaway because I cannot sleep from worry since I had breast cancer 10 years ago.
Brief Answer:
No worries,innocuous, self resolving,
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. Lump half a nail in size of hardly 24 hours duration is rarely worrisome or sinister and self resolves as it is mostly a blister or some cyst. Just apply some topical soothing remedies like hydrocortisone creams as it will help in shrinking o fit. If the pain is there you may consider it for drainage of the content inside likely cystic fluid or pus. If it bothers you your doctor can cauterize it for you with in a minutes or two. I would suggest wait and see policy for 3 days and let the cyst self resolve.
i hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
