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 skin tag that is normally about the diameter of a dime and is a little puffy. But within the last 3 days it s now very swollen(about the size of a quarter diameter and circumference) It has become EXTREMELY painful and has a bright red ring around it that s warm to the touch and is draining a foul smelling pus/fluid.
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, infection would be most likely condition and it needs to be ruled out for infection till then swelling and pain can be given try with Tab Ibuprofen with Acetaminophen hope this information helps.
