Red Bump With Yellow Head, Thick Liquid. Used Bacterium Zinc, Pink Ring Around Bump. Treatment?
yesterday I notice a dark red bump, small like a pimple but much different. it was a bit yellow at the head. So, I used my finger nails and incised it. A odd almost different thick liquid came out. I put hand sanitizer on it . Only thing I had available. I put bacterium zinc salve on it when I got home. The next morning looks the same. except there is a light pinkish ring going out from it. Should I go to the hospital to see if its staph or a bad spider bite? .
Hello
Welcome
I would be pleased to answer your question .
Yes , from your description of the lesion it definitely needs a good care . it needs to be cleaned with betadine lotion and you will need an oral antibiotic to heal it faster and prevents scarring .
Please do not fiddle with it and touch the lesion as the infection might spread .
