well i have been examed. A week and a half to two weeks ago. I was told i was a cyst but they think it will go away. Its between my upper leg and the downstairs area.. I had medicine for it.. It left, now its come back. the size of a penny and i cant touch it..or ill scream. Its painful..1-10 its an 11 when you touch it.. and my clothes hit it…so i barely can wear underware…
i am 14.
question is…should i go back to doctor? i told my mom had her look and feel and she said nothing we can do…she wont do nothing bout it even though she knows it may have to be removed…[dr said that]
what should i do? [i use a heating pad on the area sometimes]You should go back to your doctor. If it is a cyst, and it keeps coming back, you probably will have to have it removed. It’s a minor surgery that can be done in the office.
The problem with cysts is that they have a kind of shell, or cyst wall, around them, kind of like a plastic bag. if you don’t get the entire cyst wall out, it will keep coming back. Antibiotics can take care of them, but lots of times when you’re done with the antibiotics they come right back.
While you are waiting to get back to the doctor, use your heating pad or warm compresses to the area a couple of times a day, or take a warm soak in the bathtub. That can help bring it to a head and perhaps it will drain on it’s own. That won’t stop it from coming back, though.
God BlessIf it was a cyst it would not go away and then come back. I’m not saying the Dr. doesn’t know what he’s talking about but if it were me, I’d get a second opinion. Usually a cyst does not hurt unless maybe you push on it. Sounds to me like you have an infected abcess.If it’s red, I’d definitely say that’s what it is and you need to go to another Dr. so you can be prescribed antibiotics. Good luck!!Go to the doctor! It sounds serious if it’s an 11 when you touch it
That happened to me a while ago after I ran six miles on my treadmill, I normally do 5 and wear shorts but this time I didn鈥檛, just in my underwear and sports bra. My thighs rubbed together which resulted in getting to big yellow cyst, half dollar sized in between my upper inner thighs. They hurt like hell, when the water hit them from my shower I cried, and they couldn鈥檛 touch….
I slept with a pillow between my legs! By morning I woke up and they were gone? So it can鈥檛 be a cyst.
