Suggest Remedy For Cyst In Buttock
My daughter has a large bump/cyst on her left butt cheek right at the start of the crack. It is painful and has gotten harder and larger in the last few days. We went to our dr who said it is just a bump under skin and to take Motrin but it is getting larger and harder what should we do now?

Hi...I feel that - what started as a superficial skin infection is now turning into an abscess and it will need oral antibiotics and if needed an incision and drainage too after it softens. I suggest you consult a pediatrician for this.
