An Abscess must: Be ruled out by a physician and appropriate antibiotics given. This will halt the progression and start the healing. The longer u wait the larger and more difficult it becomes to treat.

A member asked:

I saw a big bump on my thigh itching 1 month ago, I thought its an insect bite. About 5cm, deep under skin, not moving at touch, not painful, not red, no skin manifestations, only hard at touch. How can a cyst or tumor differ from lyposarcoma?
