Avatar m tn 5cm size collection seen in right psoas abscess. At before test of MRI at operation time it was found aaprox 11.0*4.5*5.0 cm size of psoas abscess was noted.

Ethambutol 1200 mg and 2. Isoniazid 300 mg and rifampicin 300mg .
Avatar n tn Hello, The first possibility is of a boil or abscess in the area. The second possibility is of a perineal hernia. It is a hernia involving the perineum (pelvic floor), mostly found in men and often appears as a sudden swelling to one side (sometimes both sides) of the anus. Second possibility which comes to my mind is of pilonidal cyst.
Avatar n tn The lump is located near the end of her spine, close to her tail. The lump feels squishy, like it is filled with liquid. It is about and inch in diameter and about half an inch tall. I tried to find something on Google, but could find nothing. I breed rabbits, and occasionally during the summer some kind of larvae gets under their skin and forms a lump, but since it is winter, I do not think this is likely.
Avatar m tn I've had an abscess or boil on my upper back between my spine and shoulder blade that doesn't seem to be coming to a head but instead drying up or being reabsorbed into the skin. It's about 1 - 2 cm in diameter, pink and a little soft (can feel some fluid inside) but not painful and not getting larger or smaller and I'm having what seems like muscular shooting pain up my neck and down my spine on that same side.

Avatar m tn If it turns out that it is a tooth responsible for the abscess, it needs to be taken out as as the abscess is completely gone. Don't wait or the abscess could come back worse.
Avatar f tn My 9 month old cat recently had an abscess that burst on his side. I took him to the vet two days ago and he was put on amoxicillin. Today, right next to the burst abscess there is another abscess formed. There are not visible wounds so there is nowhere to drain from. He does not feel warm to touch on his nose or his ears. The vet is closed for two days and there are no emergency clinics near me. Please offer advice on how to help my Oliver.
Avatar n tn you should make an appointment with your personal Physician for an examination. You state this lump is above the breast .... it could be an abscess but I'm not sure what you mean by "above" the breast. I might be an enlarged lymph node and that could indicate an infection but this warrants a hands-on examination and some type of treatment. Regards .....
Avatar m tn I have had a smallish (maybe 2 cm in diameter) skin abscess or infected cyst on my back next to my cervical spine for the last 2 weeks which doesn't seem to be getting bigger or coming to a head (I tried squeezing it thinking it was a pimple at first.) When I touch it, it feels soft/puffy as though there's some fluid under it (same as a gum boil) and it's no longer hot/painful, just itchy sometimes.

Avatar f tn Hi I have a bump near the vagina since the last two years, only one and it stay the same not growing in size whatsoever. Ocassionally it fills up with pus and bleed too. I'm diabetic, have shown it to many gyno dr's they give cream and antibiotics but no healing. I don't understand what it is. Had tested for infections and I don't have any.
Avatar n tn Yesterday my husband, aged 54yrs had drainage of an abscess? diagnosed following ct scan for a lump between anus and scotum which tripled in size over the previous week. Has been in pain since the May 08 followup colonoscopy which led to bleeding for 2 days, and then a month of ++ bleeding in September. Severe pain - on Tramal twice per day plus paracetamol 4 x day.
Avatar f tn Obviously it could still be herpes, but it does not appear to have an ulcer look and there was only one small oval-shaped zit-like abscess near the very top center where a camel toe forms.. Lol. Any thoughts or opinions are welcome!
Avatar f tn I got this growth near the vagina and its the size of a pea. And when i pressed it. Its painful. But when I wanna squeeze it. It doesnt want to come out. Maybe it's not ripe? Not sure. Its hard at the growth area and its pain is killing me. Is it a pass or what? I hope i wont have to go for an operation or something. Im scare here.
Avatar f tn I've had an abscess (it's draining and draining and draining) for about 10 years, but it hasn't gone away totally yet, but it's much better than it was initially. I take cod liver oil with butter oil and try to avoid eating a lot of sugar and refined flour. I do have high blood pressure which I heard that it may be caused by a long term infection, so it's something to watch out for. That is SO great your abscess has healed!
1521268 tn?1291123879 In some people the occipital bone at the back of the skull has a protuberance. This is a normal finding and comes up in X-ray. Another normal finding is a protruding spine of cervical vertebra due to bad posture, again detected by X-ray.
Avatar f tn It could also be an abscess. You will need to consult your doctor, who may ask for an X ray to ***** the spine, if needed he may even ask for a CT scan, please consult him for an evaluation. Regards.
1166907 tn?1263101648 Therefore apart from the main anti-tuberculosis treatment, if abscess is wide spread then surgery may be needed to drain the fluid and stabilizing the spine. Additionally, pain-killers may provide some help in his symptoms as well. Please consult your treating doctor for a better insight. Hope this helps.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn Do any of your teeth hurt? Sounds like you have an infection or abscess. If an abscess in the teeth goes unattended the infection will spread into the jaw and cause a lump. You need to get checked out ASAP!! If left untreated, the infection will spread into your blood stream.
Avatar m tn So about 3 weeks ago I had my perianal abscess drained and the healing process went quite well until about 1 week after the drainage small spots started to appear around my anus and near where the abscess was. My doctor prescribed me with a 1 week course of antibiotics which seemed to clear them up. However, more spots have started to appear but more itchy and painful and also when they burst the pain seems to ease. So are these spots anything to worry about?
Avatar f tn I have a recurring abscess on my right breast for almost 2 years now. I remember that I have a "white head/black head" on my chest so I picked it and removed it and I think it's where it all started. The abscess I got on the first spot on my breast lasted for 9 months (I had maybe 4 recurrence) but it healed on its own without taking any antibiotics or creams.
Avatar m tn i have had pain behind my eyes for 1 year 6 months. also ear ache feels like liquid near ears or something i have also got short term memory loss the scary thing is i dont feel nicotine anymore or opoids or even whe ni go for a run i dont feel the rush, i am so worried. i get headaches now everyday sort of like dull sharp headaches everywhere. all this started from year and half ago.
Avatar f tn Hi - let me start by saying I am not a medical professional - but sometimes the musculoskeltal systems gets bunched up with all of the stuff you have been going through. Check with a physical therapist to see if they can help you to stretch the muscle sheathing that surrounds your muscles- I think it is called myofascial therapy or release. All GOOD physical therapists are familiar with this process.
Avatar m tn My 1 year old grandson had developed a Perianal Abscess and had a surgery under GA. Some 20 ml. pus was removed from a 5 cm deep cavity near anus at 01 O'Clock position and 1 cm away.The surgeon put a drain pipe which did not stay more than 1 day and then it was not replaced.He was given antibiotics for 2-3 days and kept under observation and sent home after 5 days.He was advised Betadine sitz bath after each poo. No other medication was prescribed.
