General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood your concerns well.
The large lump inside after the surgery of incision and drainage and blackness to the area indicate that a very bad scar has developed called a kelloid.
I would advise you the following:
Get a clinical examination by a General Surgeon. Ultrasound or MRI to know the cause and get operated again to remove the mass and get histo-pathology done to make sure that the mass has been completely removed as well as to get the correct diagnosis and take care to follow regularly to see if there is a recurrence or any other problem develops.
Take multivitamins as they act as anti-oxidants.
I find this answer helpful
