HI,Dear,Thanks for the inquisitive query to HCM.1-I studied your query in depth.2-In my opinion ,the 2 mth old lump which has not reduced or responded to antibiotic treatment with NSAIDs, is -"chronic abscess with thick abscess wall" which gets hurt on pressing it and is with resistant bacteria.2-a-and needs to be treated with the changed antibiotics.3-Treatment of such chronic-abscess in the little finger- is very challenging-3-a-rule out the diabetes in you by fbs and pps blood checking,3-b-Such resistant chronic lump- needs to be tested by -sending the aspirate of the abscess-" for pus-culture report"- for knowing the sensitivity study for the antibiotics and 3-c- such boils need to be removed surgically or drained only under cover of the "sensitive antibiotic-as per the pus-culture report".4-Hope this would solve your query to your satisfaction.5-Wellcome for more queries to me On HCM.6-Thnks once again for your inquisitive query.Have a Good Day..!!
