What Is The Treatment Of Lump ?

Hi, i keep getting a red lump on my skin that is itchy at first. It then grows in size under my skin and becomes very painful and irritating. After about 2-3 days it devlops a green top inside the skin that you can see and i then have to squeeze it and yellowy green puss comes out and it is extremely sore. The whole lump end up being 2inches and after being squeezed it leave a small hole where the puss came from after having to sqeeze them several times over a week, it also doesn't heal up properly afterwards and is still sore. I have had about 5 of these on different parts of my body and then leave scars. Please could you help me with this? Thanks Bella.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

This lumps are most likely a sebaceous cysts. Its a kind of benign skin lesion filled with whitish masses. When it gets infected pus appears what causes swelling, pain and redness until the pus wont be evacuated.
The best solution for such lump is to remove it with surrounding capsule, otherwise it will regrow.
I suggest you to consult general surgeon with this issue.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
