What Is The Hard,purple Bump On My Butt?
There is a bruise like mark on my butt cheek, basically on the crack line. It's been there for over a year and from time to time it hurts. You can feel a little bump if you touch it and it's very visible. Purple. It feels tougher than the rest of my butt. Help!

Hi,
This may be a pilonidal sinus. I suggest you see your doctor for assessment. This is not a serious problem but can be helped by surgical removal to prevent any infection developing.
