Lumps On Arm, Got Red And When Squeezed It, Pus And Watery Red Stuff Is Coming Out.

My son has this lump on his arm actually he has several of them 2 on one arm and one on the other. I thought he had a cyst it was hard and round the next day it got red and he squeezed it and pus and watery red stuff came out before he squeezes them they are red hard and tender to the touch. The first one seem to be going down in size but he still squeezes it and stuff keeps coming out.
Your thoughts.

Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM

It seems that lump is infective in etiology.
Pus is still coming out means it is inadequately drained.
He needs complete drainage. You should consult your doctor and must be given antibiotic coverage along with analgesics.
Get well soon.

Take Care
