Dear XXXXXXX
The description you have given it sounds like Boil. Is it painful?
Please do not squeeze it. I think the best step will be to attend
A/E dept in hospital for check up and treatment. It could be the
early infection and the pus has not formed yet.
It does not sound like pyogenic granuloma.
Kindest regards
Dr S.K.Mukherjee
