Severe pain, large bump under the skin on cheek, oozing water like stuff and blood when popped.  Any natural home remedy?
Patient: Hello I need help please! I have a very large bump under  my skin on my left cheek, and it hurts BAD, I've tried popping it but only water-like stuff and blood comes out. There is a core and I can feel it from the inside of my cheek too. It is about the size of two fingertips sidebyside. Please help! I need a natural home remedy due to no insurance. Doctor: Hi and thanks for this query.I am so sorry to hear about this bump. Hope we get to find solutions earlier than later.This sounds like a big pimple or cellulitis. The best course is to refrain fro squeezing or touching it as this may promote infections like cellulitis. Try some pain medications like Ibuprofen and paracetamol. They will offer great pains relief and a reduction in the sie of the swelling. If fever or bump increases in size or becomes softer than before, then please visit the hospital for antibiotic prescription.Also, applying ice packs on this bump will reduces its swelling and painful nature.Hope you ind this helpful and informative.
