What Does A Painful Bruise With White Knot Indicate?

My daughter has a bruise with a white knot in the center of it in her side. She said it hurts when her shirt touches it she is only 5 and has no idea how it happened I have not noticed it before just today when she got home from school. Should I take her to the hospital?

Hi, thank you for asking healthcare magic
I understand your concerns.

No need to worry so much and you don't need to take her to the hospital for now. I think it is a furoncle. What you need to do is to compress the area so that the whitish substance (pus) should come out. After you can clean the area with salty water.
She would be fine.

I hope that helps
I wish her the best
