Question 1

i have a bug bite with a pus filled bubble in the center that seems to have gotten bigger. what do i do?

Accepted Answer

Skin infections: Pus filled bumps on the skin are usually the symptom of a skin infection.  When they become red, warm to touch and painful it is called cellulitis.  Treatment of this includes oral antibiotics and occassionally drainage.  See your doctor, because resistant infections are becoming more common and require special treatment.

Question 2

i think i got bit by a bug or something. there was a small blackish bump on my leg but now its a big clear bubble probably with pus. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Clean the: area with plenty of warm water and a mild skin soap. Apply moist heat.  As long as you are certain this is not a tick bite (with the insect still attached) this should be anough. Any FEVER, RASH, or red streaking up the leg  requires an in person visit to a Health Care Provider.

Hope this is helpful

Question 4

what can we do? my girlfriend has pus-like bubbles on the opening of her vagina?

See a doctor: It sounds like she has some kind of bad infection. Sometimes foreign bodies or tumors can also cause discharge. She should get checked out by a physician asap. Both of you should get checked and treated for sexually transmitted diseases.

Question 5

can lotrimin (clotrimazole) treat big pus bubbles on toes?

Accepted Answer

No: If a person has pus in bubbles on their toes, then they probably have an infection that needs a proper evaluation to determine the right treatment.  Infections of the skin are more often bacterial and lotrimin (clotrimazole) would not treat that.

Question 6

i have a clear bubble under my tongue. i have popped it a few times. sometimes it's blood and other times it's pus or something clear.

Accepted Answer

Ranula: Sounds like the description of a ranula or mucous retention cyst where you can have an obstruction of the duct that allows saliva to flow into the mouth.  The repeated popping with blood and occasional pus most likely is from the repeated trauma and possible infection.  A dental evaluation would be recommended.

Question 7

i think i have a chilazion under my eyelid. i lifted up my eyelid and the infection bubble burst and pus/hard stuff came out. what do i do now? meds?

Accepted Answer

Chalazion: Once a sty or chalazion opens, keep up lid hygiene (warm compresses, cleaning with diluted baby shampoo or tea tree oil: see eyedoc2020@blogspot.com for details) to keep meibomian glands open &amp; unclogged. If suspect infection (redness on skin or pain) video consult MD for Rx for Erythromycin or Tobradex (tobramycin and dexamethasone) ointment.

Question 8

3 days after c-section got discharged from hospital today.  i just notice a little bubble filled with water or pus in the incision. is it normal?

Accepted Answer

Seroma: 24 yo woman status post C-section postop day 3 with a small fluid collection in wound. You probably have a small seroma at your incision site. Make a call to you OB/GYN and let them know as soon as possible. They will need to examine you to make sure your wound healing progresses nicely and that you don't develop a postop infection. Best of luck to you and your new family member.

Accepted Answer

Possible Hepes Simpl: Hi AndreA, Has this happened before. What you descrive as "bubbles" are known as vesicles and ususally burst as the infection progresses and then a crust appears. These are known as "cold sores" and are typically due to herpes simplex virus. The usually last for 10 days and can recur.  If coaught early, as you describe they can be treated with oral acyclovir.
