Suggest treatment for a painful lump on the stomach
Patient: Hi, Yesterday I woke up with a small bump on my stomach just an inch below my breast. Today it seems bigger and more painful. It is very red. I squeezed it really hard and it seemed to change its shape, a small amount of puss came out but that has not happened since. It is about the size of a grape under the skin. What could this be? Doctor: Hi,From history it seems that there might be having ingrown hair follicle infection producing boil with induration and pus.You might require one course of antibiotic medicine for 3-5 days.clean local part and apply antibiotic cream.Ok and take care.
