55 DoctorsJames Malhotra, a 58-year-old IT project...
James Malhotra, a 58-year-old IT project manager and avid gardener, first noticed a persistent, deep-seated pain in his right groin and lower back. He initially dismissed it as a pulled muscle from yard work. Weeks later, a painful, red, golf-ball-sized nodule erupted on the skin of his right lower abdomen, accompanied by fever and chills. His dermatologist, Dr. Chen, was consulted for the alarming skin lesion. Recognizing this as a potential 'pointing' abscess from a deeper source, Dr. Chen ordered an MRI, which revealed a large psoas abscess. She explained that while the abscess had tunneled to the skin (making it a dermatologic presentation), its origin was deep and required interventional radiology. James underwent CT-guided drainage, feeling immense relief as the pressure was released. Recovery involved a 6-week course of IV antibiotics and wound care for the skin site. Emotionally, he went from frustration and fear about a mysterious 'boil' to profound gratitude for Dr. Chen's holistic insight, which connected the skin symptom to the serious internal infection, ultimately saving him from sepsis.
