Suggest Treatments For Hard Lumps

I have a hard lump above my belly button... I had a tummy tuck on 10/08/12. What can be causes the hard lumps? I ve had to go back and forth to the doctor for him to drain my stomach because fluid (blood) has been building up. As he drain me, he inject a few cc/s of steirod in my stomach as well... Now I have these hard lumps and they are pretty painful.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi and thanks for the query,
it might be very imperative to ensure that these lumps are not infected. Pain in case accompanied by fever or redness could be a sign of infection and removal associated with anti biotics could be helpful. Elsewhere, histologic analysis of the lump to know if they are benign or cancerous could be helpful.
I find this answer helpful
