I noticed this lump after about a week, when swelling went down but not in this area. At about day 10, after applying some pressure while pat drying the area, it suddenly POPPED and squirted blood onto the mirror. Since then it has popped twice more, each time blood being expressed through a different follicle. It is blood and not pus, and the area isn't painful. The doctor said it may be a seroma.
