I m a fifteen year old female and average weight. Last night I felt pain about halfway down my butt crack and it felt like there was a little lump there. I just looked at it in the mirror and it seemed there was a small hole right where it hurt, so I tried squeezing it and after a while a small amount of pus came from the area. It didn t look like a pimple at all other than the little hole. The area is still painful so I am just wondering what it is. Should I be worried?

Hi! welcome to HCM!
After going through your description, as I feel, If I were your treating Doctor for this case of a painful buttocklump, I would come up with only one and one possibility that is a sebaceous cyst! Nothing to worry about this and try not to pop it anymore and get infected there!
I suggest you to see a general surgeon and go for an FNAC test of the lump for confirmation and to relieve your concerns!
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
Wishing you good health.
