What Could Boils/lumps In Abdomen Suggest?

A few months ago i had a boil/carbuncle on the right side of my abdomen. After treatment it seemed to disappear although i was left with a scar which is still visible. Is this normal? Also i now notice that there appears to be a small lump under the skin where the boil used to be. What could this be?

HI,Dear,Thanks for the query.1-The lump under the scar tissue of the old healed boil/carbuncle,may be 1-a- recurring boil/carbuncle and /or 1-b-may be a keloidal growth in the scar of the old healed boil.2-Other possibilities could be-2-a-Fibroma developing in the scar tissue ? 2-b- or could be fibrosarcoma, which may need to be fixed by the FNAC biopsy of the lump underneath the old scar tissue.3-Hope this would solve your query to your satisfaction.4-Wellcome for more queries to me On HCM.5-Thnks once again for your inquisitive query.Have a Good Day..!!
