What Causes Lump With Discharge At The Site Of Infection?

I had an infection in my stomach that had to be lanced. It healed....then I felt a small mass in the same place and saw it had a very red surface. I squeezed it and it drained again...now there is a very very small opening that is still draining a slight amount but it does not seem to heal and totally close?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, such swelling could be nonspecific and not the infection better not to disturb it, because it will be fine soon on its own, no need to worry about it, in case if this is not coming to normal then clinical examination is the option, hope this information helps, take care.
I find this answer helpful
