A member asked:

I had msra six months ago; now i have a very red, painful large bump on my sternum. what to do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Get evaluated: Have your dr take a look at it to see if this is from infection or something else. Simple physical exam can help a lot to see if antibiotic is needed, or if drainage is needed first (if it has abscess) , take care.
