A member asked:
Cyst on shoulder has become painful, red and inflamed. its grown slightly too. there is no tip or hole on it so it cant pop? is this something that needs attention soon or can it wait a little bit?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is important to seek evaluation as soon as possible at an urgent care place with experienced clinician; because inflammation may be because of infection and may give better outcome if evaluated promptly with appropriate management.
