Question 1

i was diagnosed with scabies. they prescribed eurax (crotamiton) cream. i have cyst like lumps with yellowish bloody pus oozing. worried. please help!

Accepted Answer

Scabies.: Eurex application would be appropriate for scabies, which is typically intensely itchy.  With pus, though, it sounds like you may have a bacterial superinfection.  I'd have to see it to be sure, but that sounds a little more involved than just scabies.  Not worrisome, just curious.

Question 2

i keep getting hard pus looking lumps on back of head.

Accepted Answer

Seek evaluation: Chronic infections conditions in this area may warrant a multifaceted approach, which may include a wound culture to determine the appropriate antibiotic.  Sometimes a longer antibiotic course is necessary, but this brings with it other risks.

Question 3

lump directly behind left ear lobe. itches and full of pus. popped it 5 times, but is back the next day. sometimes hard, sometimes squishy.

Accepted Answer

Cyst or lymph node: Either you have a lymph node or more likely an infected sebaceous cyst.  Once it pops it will continue to pop.  You can try warm compress and meticulous cleaning but it will recur soon or years later.  Treatment for the cyst requires cutting it out.  It can be done in the office.  A general surgeon will have experience with this also plastics and ENT.

Question 4

white patches in tissue in front of tossils, back of throat purplish color, kump on gums that drains pus, lump is hard, what's going on with me?

Accepted Answer

Infection: You have a lump draining pus.  This means that you have an infection.  Can't tell you what is infected.  But you need to see a dentist asap for exam and treatment.  An infection will not go away without treatment.

Below: GO see your DR, you need an antibiotic.

Until then try warm moist packs to the area 3 times per day for about 15 min each time.

Question 7

i have little little hard lumps in whole armpit and there is no pus and no pain in the lumps? and its from 3 years

Accepted Answer

Hard bumps: You may have tiny cysts called milium. See a dermatologist for a diagnosis and discuss how they can be removed if they bother you.

Question 8

i have got about 50 or 60 lumps on my back can you tell me what you think it is the are big and really sore and some have got pus in them?

Accepted Answer

Sebaceuos cyst: Glands in the skin that keep skin lubricated produce an oily substance called sebum. Some people are predisposed to enlargement of the glands and formation of cysts that then get infected. See your doctor for treatment, as skin infections are often due to stapph bacteri, and now it is not uncommon to have a resistant staph call mrsa.

Question 9

large hard lump near groin and there is pus coming out. should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: You have symptoms which could be serious and should see your physician.  He/she will listen to you, do a physical examinarion, run some tests, and let you know what's going on.

Question 10

various hard lumps randomly forming in vaginal area. most recent started soft then turned hard, now has blood under the surface but no pus.

Accepted Answer

Needs to be seen: Lumps, bumps, blisters and other skin abnormalities on the genitals need to be evaluated. An examination will be needed to know the cause and treatment. Folliculitis is one possibility. Yeast is a possibility and over the counter fungal cream will fix it. Trauma from recent intercourse if possible. Herpes is an std which can cause this. Other possibilities too. Schedule an exam.
