Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have what appears to be an infected lipoma on my upper back inbetween my shoulder blades. In the last 2 days, it has doubled in size, gotten bright red, started hurting, and now is emitting an awful smell. How urgent is this that I get it taken care of? Where should I go?
You should consult to your doctor immediately.This can turn into an abscess and can be disatrous.If it is large then your doctor may decide to drain it by surgery & if it is small then you may have recovery by medicines.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Mukesh Tiwari
