Either inflammed mole or inflammed sebaceous cyst
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
I am Dr Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, a dermatologist.
I have reviewed the attached photograph and it is looking like either an inflammed sebaceous cyst or inflammed mole.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you take a course of oral and topical antibiotics.
I would recommend you to take tablet containing combination of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid 625 mg twice daily for 7 days and apply mupirocin cream on the inflammed area twice daily.
For swelling and redness I would have advised you to take anti inflammatory medicines like a tablet containing combination of diclofenac and serratiopeptidase twice daily for 3 days.
These should reduce the inflammation.
These are prescription drugs and you need to see the doctor in person to get them.
Once the inflammation subsides then consult a dermatologist and get it evaluated again and if required go for its removal.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
