Ok 5 days ago I woke up to my outter thigh itching.The itch turned into a lump that was red and irratated. Looked infected. It came to a head like a pimple and I popped it some puss came out not much tho.It became very painful even to stand hurt.I bought some drawing salve to see if that would help but it made it worse more painful.I went to the dermatologist who put me on Bactrim. He said he didn't want to drain it just yet he wanted to see if the antibiotics helped it.they didnt so I went to the ER and they made a small incision to drain it.They packed it with packing gauze and told me to come back in 2 days.So today I went back and they took the packing out.I asked them about the lump inside and they said it will go away with the antibiotics. Mind you the lump inside got bigger then when it started.BUT their the doctors and say its ok, normal...still worried I went to My regular doctor and she said stay on Bactrim longer cause its a deep abscess and the lump is normal and will go away.
Still concerned im on here asking real people who may have had my situation or know anything about this kind of thing.Is it normal to have a lump after they drain it and are these doctors right will it go away?? Im so scared and nervous. Please help
