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 Why they come back is due to various things such as, a break in the skin, shaving, insect bites, leaning on the elbow etc. When you heal from a wound it does sometimes hurts after and that may be all it is. It can also be due to scarring. But it could still be possibly an abscess. I can only say if you don't trust your doctor to get another opinion and see what they say. If it was active I would think it would be growing and you would get a fever.
Avatar n tn I have a some what larg lump under my left arm pit that developed some time saturday night. I also have a lump next to my left elbow that followed. they are both very painful and very tender.
Avatar m tn 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.

Avatar m tn It's in the bend of my elbow on the inside. The first day it appeared it was very tender and now its just there, doesn't hurt and Saturday will be two weeks. It appeared one day after I went swimming in a local swimming hole from a lake runoff. Any ideas? http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5147776/photo.
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 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.
Avatar f tn ve picked up cycling about 40-50 miles per week along with strenuous training and noticed a solo abscess on my labia after a cycle session where I had tight fitting underwear. I popped the abscess and some white fluid came out, and it's still raised but steadily getting smaller with neosporin application. I have never had sex and the last time oral happened was late 2013.
Avatar f tn I fell about 6 weeks ago, landing full weight on left elbow. I had immediate bruising, swelling, and pain in elbow area (funny bone). I also have weakness in left hand, dropping items all the time. I did not go to the doctor because I did not believe my elbow to be broken, but I continue to have pain. This wakes me at night and is very painful in the morning after I have had elbow bent during the night.
Avatar n tn I have a bum on my gum on the left side of my face behind the last tooth. Some people are saying it might be a caker sore or an abscess. The bump became bigger and I noticed a white substance inside of the bump. It grew bigger than with the help of hot water and salt it began to drain. First question what is this on my gum? How long does it take to heal? and Should I go to the dentist after it fully heals?

Avatar m tn I have been having problems with a cyst or abscess that was what I am going to call dormant for a long time. I had it checked by a dermatologist he said since it was in the muscle part of my back he would not recommend to have it cut out...Now its inflamed went to a clinic they said to just heat compress it then wet to my PCP who game me SULFA and some pain killers told me also to heat compress it...now it is no longer HOT it was a HOT spot but now it looks PURPLE.
Avatar n tn they did a ct and found out that it was an abscess. it was 1 inch by 3/8 inch big. they gave me iv rocephin and drained the abscess. they put me on 250mg of keflex 4 x a day and 300mg of clindamycin 4 x a day for the next 10 days. talked to my dentist this morning and have a follow up appt. with him on weds. then if all goes well i will hopefully get the tooth that is causing all of this pulled next week.
Avatar n tn As rightly mentioned this seems to be a recurring abscess. Generally a dead tooth nerve gets infected and forms an abscess. Please contact your dentist immediately.
Avatar n tn many, many years ago (at least 10), i found a small, somewhat hard lump on the lower right side of my labia majora. until very recently, it has never bothered me in any way. however, just a couple of days ago, it has started to be quite painful and it appears to have grown a little in size and darkened. please tell me what this is.
Avatar f tn Ironically, I went to the dentist on Monday but I felt the sore come on before then as I felt pressure against the sore spot before it happened. What would cause pus to drain out? Thank you for your time.
Avatar n tn I am a eczema sufferer from childhood behind my knees and crease of elbow and back of elbow. Now as a adult I only have in on my right elbow crease and behind. But for the past 11 years I have had a small rash on my buttocks as well right in the crease. It normally begins to itch once I get hot there from sitting or waiting to use the bathroom (end up slightly sweating) something. I was told from the dermatologist that it is eczema and that you can get it there.

Avatar f tn My husband has had tendinitis for quite some time. It comes and goes. I have also had tendinitis that comes and goes away on it's own. My husband now has a lump on his elbow about the size of a marble, maybe a tiny bit bigger than a marble. I never heard of a lump forming due to tendinitis - would this be normal? The lump is hard and painful to him when I tried feeling the lump. I told him several times to call the doctor, but he thinks it's just tendinitis.
