I Have Noticed A Small Lump Just Below The Tailbone Between The Buttocks, Beneath The Skin Need To Be Worried?
Question: I have noticed a small lump, approximately the size of a grape, located just below the tailbone between the buttocks, beneath the skin. It is not visible externally, but upon touching the area, I can feel the lump protruding, and it feels round in shape. This concerns me, as I fear it may be a cancerous growth. Have you come across anything like this? can you help me on the next steps.
Brief Answer:
Can be a benign soft tissue swelling.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
A small lump at the end of tailbone can be due to a soft tissue swelling like lipoma or sebaceous cyst. A painless swelling that is not growing in size is likely to be a cancerous growth.
You can consult your primary physician for a direct examination and for proper diagnosis.
