Lump Getting On The Back, Clear Liquid And Dark Blood Flowing Out. Problem?
I have what looks like an insect bite on my back. I do not recall getting bit or stung. Happened about a week ago. Friend looked at it and said she thought it was a heat pimple, but it got bigger - size of two half dollars and red. A little pus came out, but other than that I haven't really messed with it. Looked at it today and it had a scab on it. I removed the scab to put some ointment on it and some clear liquid came out and then a lot of dark red blood (was flowing down my back). I got the blood off and put the ointment and a bandaide on. Lump is about the size of a quarter now (a week later). I did feel a little sick to my stomach and "not right" on day 2 or 3. What could it be?
Hello, You seem to have developed a big boil on your back. Although with oozing of some pus and blood,the size has reduced but you should consult a doctor to have a close look into it. You definitely require a course of anti biotics but whether drainage,by lancing,is required or not can be told only after visual inspection. Consult your doctor and get the needful done. Thanks
