A member asked:
What should i do if i didn't know that the "pimple" on the inside of my elbow was actually a boil/infection until today and picked at it yesterday and drained it slightly because i thought it was a pimple/cyst?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Needs to be drained: Drainage indicated an infected sweat gland or oil gland. If it drained a little bit, then it needs to be drained more by a bigger cut by a doctor. PLEASE GO AND SEE YOUR DOCTOR OR URGENT CARE TO GET THIS DONE.
