General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi,Thanks for the query to HCM.I am of the opinion that the squeeze 3 mths back had aggravated it to the red-large lump.In my opinion it appears to be a keloid -a fibrous lump-which has grown in the old scar -of the C-Section.Alert-You should act fast and go to surgeon and get the fnac -done and rule out any malignant change in the scar-keloid.As you had no pain and complaints of any fever and discharge on squeez-this is the most probable possible disease.There are many other possibility which the surgeon-would rule out before giving any treats.Hope you got the answer to your query satisfactorily.Wellcom again.
