Avatar n tn My right elbow has been very sore for about a month now, when i lift anything it hurts all the way down to my wrist, two days ago the tip of my elbow became very sore and now has a bump on the tip that is about quarter size, i popped it and it was a little puss bump, it seems to be getting bigger in size and more sore.
Avatar n tn I have on bump on the outside of my arm about 2 inches below my elbow. It looks like it has a little hole in the center of it. I've had it about a month now, but the last week it has gotten a little bigger and hurts if I push on it. Last night I was actually able to squeeze white stuff out of it. Is this something I should get checked out or should I wait another week to see if it goes away on its own?
Avatar m tn It started to get better but then I got the same pain in the right shoulder which travelled down my arm. At this point a lump appeared on my left side accross my 1st rib which was very painful to touch. The doctor I saw said it could be costocondritis. However the lump seemed to go away after a few days but the pain remained in my right shoulder. It then moved through my chest area around my heart and I had difficulty breathing as it hurt too much to expand my lungs fully.
Avatar f tn i had root canal treatment done on my upper middle large tooth around twenty years ago, from time to time over the years i felt a little lump on my gum, never caused me pain. last sunday i woke up with a severe pain in this tooth, went to dentist on monday, who took an xray and said i had a abscess. he put me antibotics and gave me pain killers also, its now wed and my lips and gums are swollen, the pain has gone down a tiny bit but i still cant sleep with the pain.
Avatar f tn A few weeks ago, I had to go to the hospital, and they noticed a small bump located on my upper right thigh. They tested me for MRSA, and the results were negative. For the past two days, I have started getting alot of pain in this area, and the bump is now massive and purple. Very sensitive to the touch. I had called the hospital, and they said it could be a boil or a cyst. I would just really like the pain to go away and know if I need to go get this checked out.
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 Well He has recently started using meth. I noticed a large lump on his arm above the bend of his arm. He says it's probably an infection due to his eszcma and him scratching it. Could this be true or could it be from him shooting up meth?

Avatar f tn I did some research on it and I think it may be a pilonidal abscess. It’s not located on my upper butt so I’m not sure it is. Can it be located father down like mine is or is it most often higher up?
Avatar n tn To make a long story short, I have been to doctors 7 times since tooth extraction for aches face, jaw, neck, ears clogging, upper left arm aching, swollen glands under chin, as well as two chest colds, and also diagnosed with sinusitis. I am now on my 5th round of antibotics in 8 months. And each time I finish I feel good for a week or two and the symptoms return.
Avatar n tn I have had a painful lump on my side a little below my arm pit area for probably a couple of weeks. It has become increasingly painful and swollen - I went to the doctor today and she cut it open and drained it but it still hurts like crazy and is still swollen. She prescribed an antibiotic which I started tonight and said to come back Thursday or if I couldn't change the dressing myself to come back sooner and they would change it. Has anyone experienced this? How long did it take to heal?
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 n tn Yesterday I noticed a redish purple spot on my upper gums. It is not painful, just kind of ugly. I don't remember hurting it in any way. I brush and floss regualrly, and have also been to the dentist in the past few months. Is this something to be worried about? Or just wait for it to go away? I'm away at school, so my dentist is about an hour and a half away.
Avatar n tn My father expieriencing attacks of very sharp pain in right side of upper abdomen that goes away and come back under lower rib cage with neusea, pain radiates to a lower back. Blood test is normal except CRP high that sugest inflamantory condition but CT scan of abdomen normal, urine analysis normal, gastro scan normal. He is not dianosed and deteriorating. Is anyone expierience simular.
Avatar n tn Very normal, no need to worry, combination heat, humidity and wide open pores in his arm pits allowed dirt to seep around hair folicales, very important to use antipersprant not just deoderant

868949 tn?1239589229 I have gotten 3 of these in the past 2 years now. It comes up in the exact same spot on my arm pit. I have had it cut out and drained once, and been on antibiotics every other time. It will go away for a while then it just comes back. I can not wear any time of deoderant, even spray on because it just irritates it even more. Please help.
Avatar f tn I normally get these all under my right armpit, but my most recent ones are two under the arm and on the lower half of my back which in turn is stopping me from walking, laying down, sitting down or standing for too long The pain is excruciating and no doctor seems to know what's wrong with me I see a specialist on Feb 4th I'm sorry I can't give any answers, but I just wanted to let you know your sister isn't alone x
Avatar n tn They may occur anywhere on body but scalp, ears, back, face, and upper arm, are common sites for sebaceous cysts. Blocked sebaceous glands, swollen hair follicles and excessive testosterone production will cause such cysts. Generally no treatment is required but they become painful then it means they are infected,Then surgical excision by traditional wide excision, minimal excision, and punch biopsy excision may be required. Other possibility is of swollen lymph node.
Avatar n tn on my left arm just above the bend(if you had palm up arm held out) about an inch up from bend and towards the back of arm.
Avatar n tn A tooth abscess is a pocket of pus that's caused by a bacterial infection. The abscess can occur at different regions of the tooth for different reasons. A periapical (per-e-AP-ih-kul) abscess occurs at the tip of the root, whereas a periodontal (per-e-o-DON-tul) abscess occurs in the gums next to a tooth root. The information here refers specifically to periapical abscesses.
