In November of 2009 I Found a bump on the back of my head which I thought to be a boil. In December I had received a Hair cut and noticed There were 3 bald spots were I thought to be 3 boiils. The bald spots did not seem normal so I went to health services. I was able to see a Doctor a little more than a month later. The main spot had grown in size and had been draining puss and other fluid as well as blood. The doctor had taken a culture to test for MRSA. He had drained it and reported it looked like cottage cheese comming out. I was placed on a anti-biotic called Sulfa-meth tri-meth, for ten days. The MRSA test came back as negative and I was told that It came backs as coagulis negative staphaloccus. In march of 2010 I had 2 drains placed in the back of my head for proximetly 24 hours. It was then deemed I should need surgery to remove any mass that had been built up under the skin. By this time the spot was huge draining everyday but never getting smaller. I had surgery and underwent a general anesthesia. I was placed in an infirmary for 7 weeks where they were to do a wet to dry healing for the surgery. The wound never officially healed it is now October and coming upon one year from when the problem first started. I constanly have small bumps fill with fluid and puss around the region of the wound and when pressed upon or sometimes when I do not press them even it drains Blood and sometimes a snotty red mass that comes out of the surgery wound area. I do not have Insurance and I tried to clean it with peroxide on a daily basis but This does not seem to help either. I have had a MRSA test as recently as Aug. 2010 and the results were negative. My left lymph node seems to have been swollen since about April 2010 and has never gone down. I am confused and flustered about what this may be any information would be greatly appreciated. I do have photos i have taken from when I have cleaned it and photos of my head shaved to get a good view of whats going on back there. Please take a look at this it would be greatly appreciated thank you for your time. Steven Fuchs.
The swelling in question seems to be infected sebaceous cyst. With more sebaceous cysts in the adjoining area. So your doctor has done right thing of doing surgery. Take antibiotics, reguiar Chat Doctor.
