It started a a small bump on my knee that I thought was a bug bite. It was a little itchy and I felt like it needed to be popped, like it has pus, but nothing came out. Now the area surrounding the initial bump is red, swollen, hot and kind of hard (3 days later). Not sure what it is or what I should do, but it is painful and I m wondering if I should go to the doctor.
Hi! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. Yes, I think you should see a doctor, as you have developed cellulitis (infection of skin and the subcutaneous tissues) due to fiddling with the initial bump. He after an initial clinical examination might advise you for a broad spectrum antibiotic with an anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor.
