Posted on Fri, 3 Feb 2017

Question: Hi good morning,

I am writing today to ask about a health query.

Actually I have a cyst kind of thing on hipline. it some time get cured by itself and sometime it get swollen and worsen which leads to bleed and spill out some kind of pus.

I went to skin doctor, he analysed that and what he ask me to apply a cream, which i did. but it did not help me.

after couple of months I observed another bump growing just above previous one. Now i have two on the hipline which gets swollen like a boil and burst anytime with blood and pus.

Please tell me what it could be and how to get rid of that.

Regards,
XXXX

Brief Answer:
Pustule.

Detailed Answer:
Hello, XXXXXXX

It seems to be the pustule.

You'll need a course of antibiotic. I treat such cases with TAB. MAHACEF XL or TAB.AUGMENTIN 1 tablet 2 times for 5 days. And T bact for local application.

These are again available on prescription, So consult the doctor to get them prescribed.

The reason for this could be wearing tight inner wear, Poor aeration or inflammation of the hair follicle.

Any issue do follow up,

Take care.
