What is the cure for the painful puss filled lump at the centre of the chest?
Patient: Hi Dr. I have a lump in the middle of my chest that is not going away. I ve had them before but this time, a lot of puss came out of the lump and it is now extremely painful (with and without touching). Some blood and clear fluid also came out of it. This is the first time this has happened. Should I be worried? Doctor: Hi. From the location of the disease , this looks to be an abscess gone into a chronic stage for want of proper antibiotic and treatment.The skin in the center of the chest can not be stretched and does not allow healing the way it occurs at other places.May be you need to see a Surgeon and may need a curettage for the disease to be cured. He will also prescribe you antibiotics and other medicines as required.
