What can I do? Make an appointment with a dermatologist? Or really talk to my doctor first?

Question

Hello, it's been a few years since I had a small cyst at the bottom of my clavicle, exactly under my bra strap (I say cyst because it looks like it) I had no worries, it was not too disturbing (only in appearance) Except that since Tuesday morning, it started to hurt, it's more swollen, it's red, very disturbing with my bra strap.I read about it on passport health and it looks like it's infected... the size to the eye is about 2cm. I have a doctor, but she is far away...

The symptoms you are describing are likely to describe an infection. You will need to see your doctor. If that is not possible, you can try another clinic to see a doctor or a specialized nurse practitioner. I know this is very difficult.... Good luck! In the meantime you can take Tylenol or Ibuprofen if you have no contraindications. You can also apply compresses to try to reduce the pain.
