Hi! Good morning. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. From your history, it seems to be benign growth (a cyst) with a super added infection resulting in pain. As you are a sports person and have got an active lifestyle, I would suggest you to go and get it assessed by a general surgeon/orthopedic surgeon with the related investigations for a proper diagnosis and treatment. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
