Tele-health consultation of a hamster with a red facial swelling

Hello, this is churro she is a 16 month old female hamster. We discovered this abscess like on her left side of her nose on the 13/12. We decided to leave it, however up till today the abscess like is still there.

If it is a hard lump, it may be a tumor or an early inflammatory lump. Please make appointment with vet to get medication for reducing redness and itchiness. If ok, phone 62543326 at 10am for appointment tomorrow
Shes still active and eating well, when we touch the lump she shows no pain and does not move away.

---------------------

Thank you for your images and have used Photoshop to examine the swelling. The most likely cause of this swelling is an infected facial abscess which is very red and itchy. I will strongly advise you to consult a hamster

vet for medication, examination and follow up urgently, before the swelling becomes as hard as a rock. By then, it will be very difficult to treat.
