Hello,

I still have some trouble understanding the bubble. I suspect the bubble you are talking about is something raised beneath the skin in the lower back right.

I would like to ask you some questions:

1. do you feel/think there is fluid inside?
2. do you have a fever or feverish feel?
3. if not fluidly then what the bubble is like, hard or soft, can be moved or cannot?
4. Is there anything fluid coming out from the bubble?
5. Is the skin over red?

I would like to have some tests:

1. Complete Blood Count
2. USG
3. Aspiration and culture, if fluid inside.

Meanwhile, apply salt warm water compress can be applied. The test result can be a clue to treatment. After seeing the results, I can give steroids or other medicine.

Do not pinch or press the cyst, may lead to more complication. Do not worry, you are under good treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Dipan Samanta, General & Family Physician
