What Causes Hard Painful Itchy Lump In The Pelvis?
I was bit by what I believe to be SPIDER about 3 to 4 months ago under my stomach and a lump has developed and it comes and goes against often it s harder and then its red and sometimes itchy and painful but most of the time I don t even notice it until I feel down there and feel the hard lump under my stomach I was wondering if there was anything that I can do about that or is there something I need to go to the doctor about why that lump is still there

Hello,
I can understand your concern. If you were experiencing an allergic reaction of spider bite, it should not have lasted for 3-4 months. It would have been disappeared by now or worsened so much that you had sought emergency treatment for it.
It just seems to be a co-incidence that the swelling has started in pelvic area when you believe a spider bit you. It seems that you are having infection or infected cyst in the area that needs to be treated. I would advise you to take Levofloxacin 250 mg (Levoflox) twice a day for five days to eliminate the infection.
If you do not find relief in 5 days, then you should visit a physician for physical examination of the swelling and further investigations.
I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic. I wish you find relief soon.
Best,
Dr. Viraj Shah
