What Does Growing, Soft And Squishy Growth On Scalp With Cracks Mean?

Hello :) I have a growth on my scalp, approximately 1 inch diameter, sticking out almost half an inch. It's roundish. It was small once, my doctor put burning solution on it, it disappeared but has now come back and grown even larger! It's soft and squishy, it has flaps and cracks and NOW it has a bad smell to it! What can I use to eliminate that smell until I can get to my doctor?

Hi,Dear,
Thanks for the query to HCM. I studied your problem in depth and I understood your concerns.
Cause and plan of Treatment-
In my opinion on the given data,you seem to have a chronic scalp boil with abscess which has recurred again with bad infective discharge.Yours is messed up scalp boil by self negligence.
Plz check out with your ER Surgeon who would treat it accordingly.
So don't build up wrong concepts and self medicate your self which would increase risks and costs to you.
Instead just ask a query to HCM and be comfortable to resolve your health issues.
Welcome for any more query in this regard to HCM.
