Yeah I will try to get it checked out. Possibly I should get it checked when I go in soon for a heart murmur. The second has not appeared for over 6 months. Has it gone away?
-
What are these?
-
Yes, it's gone away, at least for now. Skin infections can come back occasionally - they are pretty common.
-
Thanks again for your help. When I do go next time to the doctors I will try to get it checked out.
-
So I have been lazy the past month or so and now a second one has developed of the first thing. It developed to the approx. same size as the other one in about a week now this one is bigger. The second thing I talked about happened again but only for 2 days and was slightly less painful then the other ones. Can anyone identify what these might be?
-
Making an appointment to see a doctor would probably be best.
-
Is the first lump still there? If it is, you should consider it essential to get to a doctor, and soon. If it went, I'd still recommend a doctor, though I'd guess it's a harmless cyst.
-
Yeah it's still there and I have been trying to get to the doctor but my aunt won't take me. She has even delayed taking me in for shots for around a month. So right now at least I won't be able to go.
-
So a sudden turn has token place. The new one has no started to hurt really bad when almost any force is applied. This is especially bad when I have to crawl like today and yesterday. If anyone has maybe something that could stop the pain like a household item that could help please tell me until I can go to the doctors.
-
It sounds infected - most likely it's a boil, and will eventually burst and the pus will come out and it can then heal. There's not much you can do about it yourself. But the fact that the other lump is still there after nearly two months worries me, and both really need a doctor's attention.
-
Both are under the skin and not visible to the naked eye. Right now the second one has grown about twice the size of the first. the second one is not spherical but more of a deformed pancake shape. Unfortunately I can not get doctors attention for the reason stated above.
-
That me make it clear that this suggestion is not to take the place of seeing a doctor. You need to figure out a way to make it happen!!In the meantime, try putting warm compresses on the lump. Is it warm and red? If it is an infection, the warm, wet compresses should help pull the infection out.But talk to your aunt seriously about seeing a doctor. If it is a question of money, surely there is a free clinic in your area that would see you.
-
It is not a question of money at all it is just a question of time because when she has a four year old a two year old and a 7 month old to take care of she is always busy. My uncle can not do it because he is always at work or on the computer. I can't help her with anything because she doesn't like help with things. Right now the second one of the cysts has developed into a larger and harder state so much that it is poking out of the skin a bit and when ever I bump it, it feels like getting a shot with a larger dull needle. Any ways thanks for the help people I will try my best to get it checked out.
-
Finally some good news on the matter. During the past week I have noticed a small decrease in size for the first but unfortunately the second one still grows.
