Suggest Treatment For A Lump On The Buttock
I have a hard round something in between my butt cheeks near the top, not next to the anus. Sometimes it is so bad it pains no matter what I do. I assumed it is a boil because it is not next to the anus and doesn t look or sound like a hemorrhoid according to my research. It itches something terrible. I cannot afford a dr visit and am hoping you can help me figure out what it is. I have been putting Hemorrhoid Cream on it, which helps it get smaller, but then it grows again. It is under the skin and sometimes has a dark color. It is very hard. Thanks for any suggestions or help you can provide.
