My assclown doctor wont be in until 1 week from tomorrow and er cost on my insurance is crazy is there anything I can do from home.
Hello! Thank you for the query. Swollen and painful lump indicates an infection. Most likely it's a kind of abscess. Can be caused by infected sebaceous cyst. There should be a lump present in this area before. Waiting a week is too long if it's an abscess. And It's hard to treat it at home. It should be incised and Chat Doctor.  So you should rather consult a surgeon with it. Hope this will help. Regards.
