Painful Mass On Buttocks, Draining. What Is Wrong?

Hi. I have a very painful mass of some sort near the top of my butt crack, inside the cheek. It is so painful that I cannot pull my cheeks apart to check it or have someone look at it. It is extremely painful to touch and has become extremely painful to sit or even lay down. I have to lay on my side. I had this once before maybe 6 weeks ago, but this time it has come back with a vengance. Last time I do not remember it draining but simply going away.

How old are you? Are You a diabetic? How many days have you been having it? This could be a infected Pilonidal sinus. You should immediately show to a general surgeon. Start on antibiotics and anti-inlammatory immediately.
