Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have a small what looks like a blood blister on my shoulder! I noticed it about 3 weeks ago. I have drained it a few times but now it s getting bigger! I keep a bandage on it to cover the way it looks. I m worried it could be something worse! Can you help??
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have joint pain and stiffness in knees, ankles, fingers and shoulders . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like friction to bony prominence , trauma and sun burn . I would suggest you to elevate your shoulder while lying down and apply cold compresses . If condition doesn't get well then consult dermatologist . Doctor will examine physically to check tenderness and consistency to rule out other condition . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics if it got infected or may drain surgically under local anesthesia . Do not touch it again and again or pop it .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon. Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
