abscess
my boyfriend found a lump or ulcer on the inside of my vagina what could this be? he wants to take me to the doctors but i would rather let it be if its not serious. there is mild pain during sexual activities but thats it.
On Tuesday, I noticed a bump right near my vaginal opening. I looked at it and its not really a bump, its kind of an ulcer. It almost has an indented white-ish center and the surrounding area is pink. I also noticed that it is kind of dimpled in the center. It is not oozing or bleeding, it hasn't started to crust or scab, its been the same for the last couple days.
It isn't painful unless i touch it, and I've had no itching or burning/stinging sensations when I pee.
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.
It starts out as a red, inflammed sore on the roof of my mouth, and then progresses into some form of an ulcer, or lession. I can usually get rid of it by hitting it hard with listerne three times daily, but recently, I became reinfected with it, and this time, it looks like the Grand Canon on the roof of my mouth with a black spot in the center of it all. This is what began to concern me. It's not responding to the listerene like it use to. I am a smoker. I'm not sure what to think....
Hi doctor, thanks for your answer. As i told you i already went to the dermatologist and he changed my cream and took a sample, next appointment is in 1 week. The ulcer itself looks a little better and doesn't hurt. However, the borders of the ulcer are raised and feel painful (maybe an abscess?).
Good morning forum.6 days ago I went to a urgent care for a bump i had in my pubic hair area, I'm a male. The doctor told me its skin abscess. He drained it and puss started coming out. He took a wound culture for testing using a swab.And prescribed me doxycycline antibiotic. 5 days have passed and I still haven't taken the antibiotics because I want to know about my wound swab culture.
Right upper abdominal pain can be due to cholecystitis (inflammation of gall bladder), stones in gall bladder, duodenal ulcer, abscess under the diaphragm, liver problems and abscess or due to duodenal ulcer. Right flank pain is generally due to kidney stones. Gall bladder problems have been ruled out in your case. Abscess should be seriously considered.
Lower right abdomen pain is commonly due to appendicitis. The pain, can at times come and go and not give the classic picture.
I recently had to go to the ER because of an oral abscess on the lower right side of my lower jaw bone. I was put on penacyllin 500 mg 4x daily after they refused to drain it. The abscess was over 2" x 2" and wrapped around beneath the bone down my neck and up the bone to my right ear. Now my tongue has very red areas on it, it bleeds and is so pain full that drinking water causes excrutiating pain. I also just noticed that I have an ulcer type sore on the upper jaw on the left side.
The lesion appeared on the picture is different from your descriptions. The lesions appear to be erythematous, flat , ulcerated, well demarcated . Clinical differential diagnoses include , but not limited to,traumatic ulcer, vesiculobulous lesion,hypersensitivy. If the lesion does'nt resolve within 2 weeks, seeing an oral pathologist is advised.
The abrasion became raised immediately after a small circular scab formed and now an ulcer in circular shape has formed. It is painfull with white ridges and a small amount of redness. In between the scab and ulcer forming my gp saw it. He prescribed keflex 500mg TID for 2 weeks. I also had a URI. This is my 5th day on the antibiotics . I ahve NEVER had anything like this before. Since an ulcer has formed should I go back to my doctor, Or wait and see as he originally suggested by my gp?

I absolutely agree with CalGal -- I developed severe reflux about 2 years ago and had that same feeling in my throat. The usual meds (Tagamet and Nexium) did nothing for me. The docs suspected a stomach ulcer (which is usually treated with antacid meds and a combination of antibiotics, but also takes time to heal) or a reflux disorder. I still don't have a diagnosis, but the endoscopy did tell the docs that it wasn't an ulcer, hernia, abscess or other infection.
Canker sore symptoms begin with a tingling sensation, followed by a red bump that becomes an ulcer. An abscess can cause swollen painful red lump which may drain pus.Thrush a fungal infection of the mouth causes white patches on tongue and inside of cheeks. It is best to get it checked by a PCP.He may refer you if needed. I hope it helps.
Take care and regards!
Hi there,
There can be several causes of a bump on the hip like a small ulcer, follucilitis, sebaceous cyst or a small abscess. It should not be popped or scratched. This can lead to spread of infection and scarring. Non healing wounds can be due to poor circulation, repeated trauma, friction, immune suppression; diabetes mellitus etc.I cannot confirm anything without examination of this deep hole in your skin. The type of hole and associated features will help in arriving at a diagnosis.
A few days stop, I had to go to the ER because of a very large oral abscess in my lower right jaw. I was put on Penacylin 4x daily, due to the fact that they REFUSED to drain it. Mind you it was so large that it wrapped around the bone and was traveling down my neck, and traveling up the bone towards my ear! Now after only three days on the antibiotic, my tongue is very red in spots, bleeds and is so painful that drinking water hurts.
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.
My 19 year old daughter has just been diagnosed wtih an esophogeal ulcer. She was prescribed 40mg of Protonix once a day. She has been taking this medication for one week, and has been experiencing dizziness and nausea. She weighs about 120 lbs. I looked online, and it appears that these are side effects that some patients experience. My question is: would Nexium pose the same problems for her?
It can also be due to acidity and duodenal ulcer. Take a late night snack. Raise head end of bed. Take Omeprazole empty stomach in morning and an antacid gel at bedtime. Refrain from smoking, alcohol, fuzzy drinks and spicy food. Walking around also helps clear gas. It could also be muscle pull that can be treated by applying local analgesic creams. It could also be costochondritis, which causes pain and tenderness at points where your ribs attach to your breastbone.
After gall bladder surgery if you are having pain then liver studies should be done. The pain could be due to an abscess. A CT scan should be done. It can also be due to acidity and duodenal ulcer. Take a late night snack. Raise head end of bed. Take Omeprazole empty stomach in morning and an antacid gel at bedtime. Refrain from smoking, alcohol, fuzzy drinks and spicy food. Walking around also helps clear gas. It could also be muscle pull that can be treated by applying local analgesic creams.
