Does Hard Lump On The Arm Discharging Pus Needs Medical Attention?
My daughter has a lump on her arm, which has had pus coming out of and also a strange hard white and black lump came out. She was sick last night about 5 times, the lump is hot to touch, hard and red around the lump. She is ok in herself at the moment apart from after effects of being sick, obviously she has an infection of some sort in her arm but do I need to take her to the doctors?
