Suggest medication for a hard red bump on the arm
Patient: i just shot meth into my are in the open crease of the are where you bend your arm. well it didnt hurt during the hit but totally afterwards it started burning both up and down my arm. it even hurts when touched or when i bend the arm. still hurts 10 minutes later. Another ?. my other arm has a hard red bump on it. i cut it open myself and squeezed crap out of it, but its still hard, should i cut deeper cuz maybe i just didnt get all the crap out? Doctor: Hello and welcome to HCM,It is not advisable to cut open the bump on the arm yourself.Cutting the bump yourself can lead to infection and injury to soft tissues.Thus, consult a primary healthcare provider for clinical assessment.Proper dressing of the wound is required followed by application of antibiotic ointment.Thanks and take careDr Shailja Puri
