What Is The Sudden Knot With Tenderness On My Arm?
I was sitting in my recliner and moved my arm. It felt very tender when I touched it. It had been fine just a few mins. before. There is a large knot on my wrist. could I have been bitten by something? My husband has looked the chair over very thoroughly and we have found nothing. Am a little concerned about the knot.
Hi. As per your case history you are probably having an insect bite. My treatment advice is - 1. Don't squeeze the lesions as it may worsen the condition. 2. Apply a mild antibiotic cream like fusiderm cream twice daily on it. 3. Take a NSAID like ibuprofen for pain and swelling. 4. Other treatment options are oral antibiotics, oral steroid taken only after consulting a dermatologist.
