Infected acrocordon is strong possibility
Detailed Answer:
Hello Dear
Welcome to the site!
I am Dr V XXXXXXX a Sr Dermatologist.
I have examined the pic and details provided.
The presentation is matching a n infected skin tag or acrocordon.
This condition is mostly due to a benign harmless growth of skin tissues of the middle aged persons.
If the patient were to present for in person examination, I would have checked up the feel and taken a complete history to substantiate the suspicion.
I would have advised the following in such a case
1 The infection control with oral antibiotics like Amoxy Clav combination 625 mg twice a day and Mupirocin cream locally several times a day.
2 after the infection is controlled the lesion should be removed preferably without destruction so that a piece or biopsy can be submitted for lab examination.
3 Check for blood sugar levels so that infection can be controlled in shortest time.
One needs to be cautious and step up the correct measures as per guidelines. The problem appears to be brought under control with supervision and cooperation between the patient and the physician.
Hope this helps you in understanding the problem and its solution.
Please contact if you want any further clarifications. I will be glad to help you out.
Best wishes from us!
