I have a knot under the skin worried it is something bad wrong what could it be?
Thank you kindd
the sore on my leg doesnt have a head or open area. the knot is beneath my skin (no apparent opening to area)
would that still be considered a boil or infected hair follicles or swollen lymph node?
Thanks for replying again
Hello,
This kind of sore can be due to a boil or infected hair follicles or swollen lymph node. Apply warm compresses on the boil and keep the area clean.Drainage of the boil is done only when it becomes soft and forms a head.Take some over the counter pain reliever and consult a doctor for examination and antibiotics prescription.
If the symptoms persist then swollen lymph node and erythema nodosum need to be ruled out. Hope it helps.Take care and regards.
