I had a small hard lump on my buttock like a mosquito bote which developed a white head. This thing went massive and the area all around was all red and inflamed.i was very ill and had a fever.a lot of Brown and yellow liquidy pus came out and with some coaxing so did a long tube of rubbery white pus. This happened again in the same area on a later date.recently one apea red on my arm and them a small one on my neck. What is causing this and what should i do?
Welcome to Chat Doctor. 1. The history and symptoms suggest the most possible cause is hair follicular infection / inflammation in the first place.2. The next possible cause could be abscessed with collection of the infective material / pus with in.3. In both cases I would recommend you not to interfere the lump by scratching, pressing as in that way you will increase the infection and complicate the condition.4. At this point I maintain local hygiene, clean the area with antiseptic liquid - soft and gentle. And need a course of antibiotic therapy that will heal the infective process. 5. If the lumps are big and complicated stage, it may need a small incision and Chat Doctor.
