10 years i got a boil under my arm and the nurse put a patch to drain the pus. and i was left with a bump/ball. how do i get rid of it?

Surgery Likely: If this happened about 10 years ago it likely is a cyst or scar tissue left if you are having no problems with it.Likely depending on the size and location this can be done outpatient or maybe in the surgeons office.
