I have this hard bump on my leg near my nether regions! I'm worried!!! Should I be?

Question

Cancer runs in my family so I am like seriously worried. If you have any advice if like it. The bump is like 2 cm and feels kind of hard. This will sound weird but when I squeezed it puss came out but when I tried again it didn't! !!! Help me! (p.s keeping this anonymous causey sis can see it too)

Answer

I meant overreacting. It’s likely a cyst. Now that you’ve messed with it, just make sure to keep it clean with warm water. Don’t scrub, poke, push, or squeeze! You can also use a hot wet washcloth on it twice a day, as hot as you can stand. It will ease the pain and help it heal more quickly. I get cysts everywhere all the time, so trust me when I say I’m the future of you get another one just leave it alone! You don’t need to do anything to it unless it’s infected (really red and hot to the touch) in which case you should see a doctor and they can prescribe appropriate medication.
