What Is The Cause And Treatment For Lump On The Butt Region?

I recently noticed a lump in my buttocks crack. It doesn t hurt, but it is large and hard. It doesn t feel like an ingrown hair. I initially thought it may be a pilonidal cyst, but it s about halfway between the top of my buttocks crack and my anus, so I don t know.

Hi, thanks for sharing your health concerns with HCM!
If I were your treating Doctor for this case of painless butt-crack lump, I would come up with three possibilities, these include:

1.     skin or hair follicle infection due to some friction injury or sebaceous cyst
2.     The second possibility is of lipoma, neurofibroma or skin tag      
3.     The last possibility is of some infected cyst or benign tumor / tumor like condition
     
Overall, it is benign or inflammatory and not to worry about this!

I suggest you to see a surgeon for an assessment and if possible, surgical excision of the lesion to cure it!

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.
