How To Treat The Hurting Lump That Is Warm To Touch?
Hi,
i woke up sunday morning with a farley large red hard lump sore to touch and the skin warm to touch im not sure if it is a bite or not? i woke up saturday morning feeling like i had a cold sore throat coughing up heaps of flem and felt sick all day and got a headahce during the day my leg hurt where the lump was, my partner had a close look at it and he reckons he can not see any bike marks? this morning it is still there and it is still hard and red and slightly warm to touch not as warm as on sunday though. not sure what it s or if i should go to my GP? the skin area around the lump apparently looks like heaps of little dots?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
This could be non specific type of swelling and this can be best treated symptomatically and the best drug for this is "Tab Ibuprofen 400 mg" three times in day, wait for couple of days if the redness reduced then keep taking the medicine and if it fails to respond then the swelling need to be examined clinically hope this information helps you, have nice day.
