Suggest Treatment For Lump On Abdomen

Hi, I had a lump under my skin on my lower abdomen about 2 weeks ago.... In the last couple of days it looks like it opened up cause it's a little scabby and the skin around it is red and elevated. It is right at my pant line and is really causing me pain, and discomfort!

Thanks for any advise!

Hi ! Good evening. i am Dr Shareef answering your query.

From your history, it seems that you have got a boil on the part which might have caused more inflammation of the surrounding tissues causing redness and pain specially when the pant rubs against it. In ideal conditions, you should get it assessed clinically by a genera surgeon, who might prescribe you with some broad spectrum antibiotics and an anti inflammatory drug after testing your blood sugar. In case of formation of an abscess , he might suggest you for a minor operative procedure to drain out the pus so that it heals well and faster.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.
Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
