Infected Lump On Skin
Several months ago I started growing this lump on my skin in the area of my collarbone. It didn't feel like anything and remained flesh tone, so I left it alone. It's about the size of a chick pea.
A few days ago it started itching pretty bad and was warm to the touch. When I looked, it was red all around the lump. The heat has gone away, but the redness is spreading, it's now sore, and continues to itch.
Any idea what this is? My health insurance doesn't take effect until 5/14/17. I'm not sure if this is something that can wait until then.
