I have had a small lump on my shoulder for ages and the other day it seemed to get a head. I squeezed it and loads of fatty white smelly stuff came out, this has gone on for about a week and now it seems to have gone down. I cant feel it moving under the skin as it used to, it is just a bit sore. Is it ok?
Welcome to Chat Doctor I am Chat Doctor and I will help you with problem I have gone through your question. To me, it appears to be sebaceous cyst, which was present there for long time, and now it got infected. If a patient with similar complaints walk into my clinic, I perform excision of the sebaceous cyst, leaving the wound open for repeated antiseptic Chat Doctor.  Tab Co-amoxiclav 625 mg 8hourly, tab paracetamol 500 mg 8hourly are prescribed postoperatively for 5 days. Patient usually respond to this treatment in 3-5days, while the wound is then closed with delayed sutures. I hope my answer will help you. Do rate it, if you like it. Regards
