What Causes Painful Spot With Bleeding On Top Of Butt Crack?
My son is 15. He has a painful spot on the top of the crack of his bottom and it also bleeds sometimes. He s too embarrassed to show me but he says it s painful and he can t sit down. He said he s had this for the last year but today it has been quite painful for most of the day. What can I do?

hi.
you might want to have it checked by a physician, preferably by a pediatrician or a general surgeon, since it's already been a year and it's still there. it could be a recurrent infected cyst or an abscess.. the wound might need drainage or antibiotic treatment as directed.
advise your son also on maintaining proper hygiene and dry the area after taking a bath.
hope this helps.
good day!
