Suggest treatment for infected lump on front thigh
Patient: I have a large lump on my front thigh.  It is painful but has just come to a head and burst.  It is draining a lot of white smelly liquid.  Any need to go to a doctor?  I would rather just keep it clean and let it run its course.  Plus I have no health insurance.  I don't see any real danger here;  just discomfort. Doctor: Hi.Thanks for your query.Alight; it has already opened up and is draining. Apply the sterile dressings only and change at least twice a day.The body takes care of such infection and healing. By visiting a Doctor you can get a prescription based antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medicines for an early and confirmed recovery. Without the medicines it may take a long for healing and recovery.
