I have one week noticing a bump or lump growing near to my hairline and my right ear. Is painful and is infected cuz I pop it this morning and pus and fluid reddish came out ( nasty ) anyways, I put neosporin after that and a bandaid. Please help. Thanks.
Hi, dear I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have enlarged cervical lymphnode. It can be due to reactive hyperplasia or tuberculosis with abscess formation. You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy of that lump. It will give you exact diagnosis. Reactive hyperplasia needs a course of antibiotics. Tuberculosis needs complete course of anti tuberculous treatment. Consult your doctor, find the exact cause and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
