The whole area is red and i can cup the ball or disk shaped lump with my hand. i went to the doctor and he prescribed antibiotics, but its seems the is larger than he saw it a few days ago.. please let me know what it might be. thank you
Hi ! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. You have not mentioned anything about any pain in the lump, which meant that it was not infective/inflammatory in origin. In that case, the role of an antibiotic might not be very much useful. I would advise you to get the lump re assessed clinically by your treating doctor who might consider for an FNAC (fine needle aspiration cytology) for a more definitive diagnosis and further management. Till that you might go for an anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor.
