Why Does The Bump Keep Coming Back?

I had two minor back surgeries in the middle of me back to remove a small bump. My doctor said it was cause of sweat build up. Now I notice in the past week when I touch the small bump it feels like a black and blue again. My Dr shall be getting back to me later. Any reasons why this keeps coming back?

Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

There are two reason for the bump coming back.

Either it is infection or it is recurring seabaceous cyst.

In either case surgical opinion of your previous surgeon is required.

You should start with oral cefixime 200 mg three times aday for three days. Aceclofenac tablet will give you pain relief please take the above tablet under your doctors guidance.

Please do regular dressing and cleanliness over the bump. You can clean with dettol later you can apply betadine and polysporin ointment.

Please avoid injury to bump part other wise injury causes infection to you.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
