Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Do Itching And Soreness Under The Chin On The Left Side Indicate?
I have a sore under my chin on the left side of my face. It produces extreme itching, is swollen, and when squeezed clear liquid comes out and the swelling is reduced for a short period of time. I have six sores on my back spaced across just below my neck that are the same. My lymph nodes on my left and right side of my neck are swollen and tender to touch. Can you help me decide what could be wrong?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your symptoms can be due to hair follicle infection causing the symptoms of swollen lumps that are painful and cause discharge. So my suggestion is to consult an Emergency room and get evaluated and a clinical examination can be done.. You can be advised a course of antibiotics like Cephalexin and along with it antiseptic ointment like Muricoprin can be advised. Also wear cotton clothes. Maintain a good hygiene.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Honey Arora
