Common Questions and Answers about Abscess on my leg

abscess

Avatar f tn A few weeks ago,I found a pimple(or so I thought)on my leg under my knee but when I tried to pop it,it wouldn't pop.I kept trying and soon it went away but 3 days ago,it came back as a huge,quarter-sized painful boil.Then two more zit-things popped up and (as much as I told myself not to) I popped those too...the boil really hurts and I'm scared a spider may have laid eggs in my leg.
Avatar m tn I know it may sound really strange but I am in so much pain from recurrent abscesses. The abscesses are usually on my leg or in my arm pit and under my breast. I had one in my rectum area too. I had been to the doctors so many times and put on dicloxicillin which seemed to help at the time, yet they still kept on recurring. i don't know what to do.......

Avatar f tn Were you treating the abscess on your own or under the care of a veterinarian? My vote is that the abscess was far worse than what was visible on the surface, and likely needed surgical drainage. Antibiotics can do only so much, and if they weren't specific for the particular bacteria strain at work, they would do no good at all. I'm guessing that the infection got into her blood stream (sepsis) and she finally died of multiple organ failure.
Avatar n tn I noticed a small pimple like thing on my upper gums last week, it has poped twice but filled back up again like a pimple you would get on your face, it was painfull the first couple of days but is no longer painful.
702286 tn?1239011660 As I laid there I could feel the infection draw through my finger into my hands and down my arm. I turned on the light. Look and saw the red line and knew I was in deep S..t. After a very long night in the ER, I was moved to the heart hosp because I was now in heart issues. The hand dr came and and within a few minutes had it all figured out. It was "STREP" No not STAFF- STREP.
Avatar m tn The pain prompted me to examine my leg and that is when I noticed a lump at the bottom of my calf muscle and flexing only made it more noticeable. Two clinic visits, an ultrasound and one pcp later still no answers or guesses. The mass is getting larger. My pcp was supposed to view the u/s results that the clinic ordered, but I haven't heard from him. My left calf is noticeably bigger than my right. Ok, so now to my question. What type Doctor should I see?
Avatar f tn I was wondering if anybody could help me with my situation. I hit my leg on concrete very hard the other day and now I have a huge lump on my leg and I don't know what's going on. It's purple with a scrape on it. Should I go see a doctor about this? Or should I just leave it be? I'm very concerned.
Avatar f tn Popping the abscessed lesion on your dogs leg relieved the pain due to the swelling of the skin and allowed the abscess to drain, which is something that your vet would have done under more sterile conditions. If you already know that the cause of the abscess is due to a traumatic wound, than oral antibiotics is probably all that is additionally required.

Avatar m tn hi, while showering this morning i noticed i had a fairly big lump under my leg, about 1inch x 1/2inch, that seems to have sprung up over night, because i didin't feel anything there yesterday. It is a bit sensitive but isn't painful. Any idea what it could be? Maybe a muscle knot or something of the like?
Avatar f tn My cat came home a few weeks ago with a gash on her back right leg. She favored it for a few days, and the wound does not appear infected. We are able to touch her leg near the wound, and she doesn't put up too much fuss, and she hasn't changed her habits, in terms of eating or playing. Just today she started to favor it again, but the wound still looks clean. Should I take her to the vet, or just let time heal it?

Avatar m tn A few months ago I had a tooth infection on my lower back molar. I was told I need a root canal and given antibiotics. After the infection cleared up and stopped hurting I forgot about it, with the intention of eventually going back and getting it taken care of. Well now I have a painless lump on the outside gum right below that tooth. It seems to have appeared over night. I thought I felt food in there and noticed it. It feels like a blister but doesn't hurt at all.

Avatar f tn They were noticeably red, slightly warm to the touch, painful when pressure was applied and, over the course of a few weeks, multiplied in numbers/size. They only appeared on my legs and a few on my buttocks. They ranged from a quarter in size to the size of my palm, and numbered around the teens. Seemed as though they formed in my fat tissue (?) I went untreated and the bumps disappeared within a couples months.
