He told me to call back if it gets worse. he told me to put heat on it s worse. I hurt and am losing rotations to the left side
Hi. Thanks for your query and history. You're providing the site of the lump would have helped me to answer you your query more precisely. Well, as a general rule, when the lump is said to be a cyst and is increasing in size, pain increasing with heat is an indication that you should consult a General Surgeon and get an opinion, few tests to be done that you are not diabetic or have any general disease; and to get operated - an incision and Chat Doctor.  He will also prescribe you a proper antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines. If by the time you are reading this answer, it is possible that the abscess might have opened up. You may still need the treatment as outlined by me.
