Suggest Remedy For Puss Filled Lumps On The Neck

I have a small lump at the back of my neck . I put my finger on it tried to squeeze it not sure if anything came out it was smelly. I then had my partner squeez it being carefull not to use her nails but only a little bit of whit puss came out. not much at all. unlike another one i had in the past. The problem is the next day it is a little bigger red and now it s sore. i should have never touched it. I was going to have it removed this coming December but now it s really sore. I work in construction so I didn t want to do it now and risk infection with the hot summer.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
HI,Welcome with your query to HCM.
Based on the facts of your query,after its review,In my opinion you should not handle repeatedly,as it has increased in size with resultant big size on next morning and chances of getting infected and turning in to abscess.
Remedy-
I would suggest immediate-consultation with your GP doctor,
and Take-Tab Oflox / Tab Motrin / Cold compresses to reduce its size over next 2-5 days.
If it does not regress,Surgical drainage after 5 days time under care of Surgeon,as otherwise it would lead to more complications from sepsis.
So don't wait for summer to go.Act fast.

Hope this reply resolves your worry with your queries.


Will appreciate writing your feedback review comments,to help the needy patients like you at HCM.

Good Day!!
