What Causes Persistent Tenderness With Spots On Lower Right Abdomen?
persistent tenderness in lower right abdomen. 2 particular spots that are tender and it feels like a little cluster of veins . What could it be? What kind of a Dr. do I need to see? This has been about a month now. Not bothersome but I know it is there. Feels like a ketch sometimes. Wondered if I strained something? How long should I wait to be seen. I am a young 75. I don t exercise..but am active.

Hi.
This indeed can be a hemangioma or a chronic abscess.
You have to get an ultrasonography of the abdomen and the abdominal wall done.
The findings may need to be confirmed by a physical examination by a General Surgeon and CT scan.
You may need a surgery for excision of the disease, irrespective of your age.
Till then get started with an antibiotic and supportive treatment
