Welcome to healthcare magic
I am Dr Fahim and I will be looking into your health query
I have gone through your question and understood your concerns. To me it appears to be sebaceous cyst, which was present there for long time and now it increased in size as well as got painful, meaning it is infected now. If a patient with similar complaints walk into my clinic, I perform excision of the sebaceous cyst, leaving the wound open for repeated antiseptic dressing with pyodine. Tab Co-amoxiclav 625mg 8hourly, tab paracetamol 500mg 8hourly are perscribed post-operatively for 5days. Patient usually respond to this treatment are better in 3-5days, while the wound is then closed with delayed sutures. You need to see a general surgeon for this treatment I mentioned. Wishing you rapid recovery.
I hope my answer will help you. Do rate it, if you like it.
