A member asked:

I have a red bump on th back of my leg. what can i do to get rid of it?

Depends...: It all depends on what it is. It could be anything from a nevi if it has been there for a long time to an infected boil for example. We would need to have more information in order to have a better idea of what it is. Try to get seen by your PCP so he(she) can take a look at it.
