Description:
Painful thickening refers to areas of the skin or underlying tissues that become firmer and thicker than normal. This can occur due to various reasons such as inflammation, infection, or injury. The thickened area may be tender to the touch and can cause discomfort or pain. Painful thickening can occur in various parts of the body, including the skin, muscles, or internal organs.
Common Causes:
- Infections, including bacterial or viral infections.
- Inflammatory conditions, such as dermatitis or arthritis.
- Scar tissue from previous injuries or surgeries.
- Lipomas or cysts that become enlarged and painful.
- Cancerous growths or tumors.
Treatment:
- Apply warm compresses to reduce swelling and discomfort.
- Over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medications, like ibuprofen, can help manage pain and swelling.
- In some cases, physical therapy may be recommended to alleviate discomfort from thickened tissues.
- Surgical removal may be necessary for certain cases, especially if the thickening is caused by a tumor or cyst.
- Consult a doctor for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.
