What Could A Lump With Brown Discharge Near To Base Of The Spine?
I am 37 years old and female. I noticed a lump near the base of my spine, just above where my butt crack starts. I thought it might be an external hemmroid so I applied Preparation H to the site for 24 hours and got no relief. The next day I was suprised when the site of the lump became wet and discharged a very foul smelling brown mucous/liquid substance. I drained the liquid from it and the pain seemed to subside. Should I go to the doctor? Is this something to worry about?

Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
With the history and findings you provided , this is fistula-in-ano unless proved otherwise.
Consult a Surgeon who would advise you medical management to start with - then fistulogram and subsequent curative surgery.
