General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi am Dr Fahim and I will help you with your problem

     I have gone through your question and understood your concerns. It appears to be a Sebaceous cyst which usually present like this after getting infected. However, clinical examination is required to rule out other differentials. If such a patient walk into my clinic, after clinical examination and establishing my diagnosis. I prescribe tab augmentin (co-amoxiclav) 625mg 1+1+1 and Paracetamol 500mg 2+2+2 followed by excision of the sebaceous cyst under local anaesthesia and daily dressing. Since these are prescription drugs and there is a procedure involved, you need to see a general surgeon.

I hope my answer will help you. Do rate it, If you like it.
