How To Treat Lumps In The Abdomen?

I have a cyst like lump outside of the skin right where my panty line is. Recently this has popped and this greenish color of puss comes out. It hurts bad when this happenes, then itches for a long period of time. I have cut out most sodas and caffene drinks yet this continues. I have an appointment w/ my obgyn however that is a month away and this is getting worse. Please help. I have had these lumps before and was told that they were caffeen cysts, im highly concerened due to the puss and its color.

Hi, thanks for sharing your health concerns with HCM!

If I were your treating Doctor for this case of pus-filled cystic lump, I would come up with one possibility that is some infection!

However, the mode of infection could be some infected inclusion / sebaceous cyst, mild penetrating injury, forgotten insect bites, folliculitis, lymph node or small boil!      You need to first see your local doctor for microbiological test of the discharge and then go for its treatment...

Your doctor might advise to apply ice/cold compress and some gentamycin-like antibiotic cream and if not relieving, swift on to oral erythromycin 500 mg four times for 5 days!

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
