Suggest Remedy For Tiny Hard Lump Below The Skin
Hello, I had cellulitis and have been antibiotics for approx 10 days. I had to have it drained and now it appears to be healing. There is no infection but the skin is purple around it where it used to be red and there is a tiny hard lump right below the skin. Is the purple and tiny bump normal when healing?

Hi
Slight redness or irregular appearance of the healing area is normal at the site of previous cellulitis .
Any pain ,swelling or localised rise in temperature could be suggestive of infection . However ,if none of these symptoms is there ,then you need not worry .
Taking oral vitamin c will speed up the healing process .
