Hello doctor...thank you so much for your reply. I noticed the lump after my abscess resolved without I&D.....could fibrous tissue walling off the abscess produce a lump like this? Its rather small and I have to poke at it to feel it properly.....I guess Im a hypochondriac and assume the worst. Any reply would be greatly appreciated.
ABOUT A MONTH AGO I WENT TO THE DOCTOR AND WAS TOLD THAT I HAD AN EAR INFECTION. I WAS PUT ON 500MG LEVAQUIN. AFTER TWO DAYS I FELT BETTER BUT HAD DEVELOPED A LUMP AND SWELLING ON MY LEFT JAW LINE. I FINISHED MY ANITBOTICS BUT THE LUMP DID NOT GO AWAY. THE SWELLING WENT DOWN. I HAD A FOLLOW UP WITH MY DOCTOR AND ASKED ABOUT THE LUMP. I DIDN'T REALLY GET AND ANSWER HE JUST PUT ME ON MORE ANITBOTICS. THIS TIME I AM ON 150MG CLEOCIN 4X A DAY FOR 10 DAYS.
I had an abscess in my right breast 10 years ago and it left a little lump after it healed. Two weeks ago I developed an abscess in the same spot. My GP recommended a week of antibiotics (Augmentin) and it started to drain on its own two days back. I feel a thickened area which hasn't gone down. Should I be worried? The abscess continues to drain slowly and I have covered it with sterilized gauze. Please help.
An abscess can be hot or warm if it is infective due to bacteria and it can be cold without heat if it is a tubercular abscess. In your case since the lump is not painful an abscess other than tubercular is ruled out and so also folliculitis is more or less ruled out. You may be well, yet a lymph node can swell in response to a local infection, dermatitis or due to dandruff in hair. It can also be an acne. Rarely is it a bony tumor like osteoma.
s still a reddish lump. After a few weeks, it recurred again and after some days, it burst on its own like all the other abscess I had before. I've also noticed that the old spot where I had the first abscess has left a lump. After 3 months, I went to the doctor again and I had breast ultrasound and had blood test. She said I'll have my results next week but I'm just scared of the results.
Judging by your description, it is most likely a fistula which is a tract that forms from the abscess of your infected tooth that escapes out to the gums. As long as the fistula in intact, your abscess can drain and slow down the spread of the abscess but if the fistula closes up, the abscess can spread rapidly through your face or neck area.
I would recommend seeing a dentist and getting treatment started.
So very happy to find this group. Was diagnosed GM after 10 weeks of unsuccessful treatment. I've been on 6 courses of antibiotics, 2 FNAs, and an I&D. I have three abscess that were hard, but after a week have become mushy. The skin seems to have a different texture. Does this mean they are coming to the surface and are about to burst? Any advice would be appreciated.
I NEED SOME INPUT FROM SOMEONE THAT KNOWS ABOUT CATS AND STUFF....
So I have this cat and he only goes outside for a few hours every night. So yesterday we noticed that he has a huge squishy lump on his head. Right on top. It looks exactly like a abscess before being drained. But here's the kicker...there's not sign of trauma on or around the lump. No bites/punctures wounds, no scratch marks..nothing. Just a lump with no signs of how it got there.
Two weeks ago I started getting sharp pains in my upper left abdomen. Two days after the pain started, I noticed that I was started to have significant swelling in the area. Two weeks have gone by and it's bigger still. Now it's a hard lump that is about 3.5 inches across and 1 inch high.
I went to the doctor last week, and he had me do an ultrasound.
I did not go to a doctor as I had been travelling and now the abscess has turned into a painless lump of approx. 1.5 cm diameter. I feel the lump under my skin and I am not sure if the infection still remains or not.
My question is that whether the infection is gone or is still remaining (dormant)?. Should I see a doctor before it may turn serious(sepsis, blood infection)?
There can be several possibilities based on the information shared by you. This lump could possibly be a perianal abscess or heamorrhoids.This is only speculation. It is very important that you see a doctor and get it examined. If it is an abscess then you may need antibiotics. It may be possible that this is the early stage of hemorrhoids so you do not have pain. In that case stool softeners, soft diet may be helpful. Do keep us posted.
Best luck!
What you have,could also be an abscess, and if it is, your doctor will prescribe some medication.Until your doctor checks this lump,no one can be sure what this lump really is.Because of your age and because the lump is painful I presume that it has nothing to do with cancer.But please have it checked, so your doctor can do something about the pain by prescribing some medication for you.Good luck and God Bless.

3 days ago I competed in a bicycle race (not sure if this is connected to my situation) and a few hours after the event I noticed a small lump on my buttocks quite close to my anus. It was soar to the touch but otherwise no bother. The next morning when I woke up it doubled in sized. By the afternoon it grew to about 2 inches in length and 1 inch wide. It is firm to the touch and seems to be located a little bit under my skin but not so deep that I can not feel it well.
i have a lump under neath my skin near my pelvic bone u cant see it only feel it like a size of a marble it only hurts when put pressure on it im 28-29 weeks pregnant what is it ?
1) I noticed that the lump got worse after the fine needle biopsy (I don't have any puss to drain, it's just a hard mass), anyone else feel the same way? 2) Were any of you breastfeeding when this disease appeared on your breast/got diagnosed? 3) If so, did GM get better or worse after you weaned? and 4) How many of you are completely cured and if so, what did you do/take to get cured?

Hi I woke up and felt a lump on my cheek (right) , I can't see anything in my gums and on my cheek it doesn't look swelled up , though you can definitely feel a lump
Any ideas what it is or how to get rid of
My friends dog is a 9 year old cockapoo, and the other day I noticed she had a red bloody spot in her fur behind her head, on the backside of her neck. The lump is about the size of a walnut; hard and leaking small amounts of blood. My friends not sure if the dog scratched it to make it bleed, so she took a close look at the sore spot and gently squeezed it getting more blood and puss out of it. She then washed it with antiseptic wash and covered it.
