I have a hard lump under the skin on my pelvic area on the right-hand side. It is swollen and it hurts when I push on it. I have not had any foreign objects near or inside that area.... I didn t notice The pain until I actually touched on it. It reminds me of maybe an abscess but again I m not sure how it could informed there. Next to it is a sort of cyst feeling thing, both move around when I press on them. I use a clean sharp needle and poked into the large one so that any fluid could drain if it needed to be drained. It has now been hours since then and nothing has changed in the area. Should I be concerned and is there anything that I can do you?
Hi, the lump you mention could be an abscess or a hernia or a Lipoma. It is very difficult to tell what it is without knowing your age and sex and without examining you. However, I suggest you see a Surgeon who can examine you and advice you accordingly. Most likely, you might require an Ultrasound to be sure what the swelling is. But, don't worry it would be treatable and can be better managed with the earliest examination and investigation. So, please see your Surgeon and follow his advice. Take care, Chat Doctor.
