Large Pimple Like Bump On Stomach, Increasing Size, Looks Like Filled With Blood, Sore. Any Ideas?

Hi I have a large pimple like bump that's has developed on one of my stretch marks on my stomach, I first noticed it about 4 months ago but it was only small red raised bump. in the last two weeks it has grown in size and looks like it could be filled with blood. It is now the size of my thumb nail and is red around the outside and angry looking. It is sore to touch and feels squidgey.

Hi, thanks for writing here. Based on your history ,the bump seems to be keloid. It is a kind of hypertrophic scar.If it is growing in size then you have to take steroidal injections for it and it will be better you consult a dermatologist.Do not rupture otherwise it will become secondarily infected.Hope this will help you.Take care.
