I started working out this week again after taking a break since I sprained my ankle. At first I thought I hurt my tailbone because I did something wrong when working out. Now I m thinking it may be a pimple but I don t see any pus or anything the skin looks perfectly normal but there is a bump.
Hi ! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.
If there is no pain in the bump, then one could rule out an infective process. This has to be some kind of benign lesion like a dermoid, or a sebaceous cyst, or a fibroma. This needs to be examined clinically by a general surgeon. So take an appointment with one in your area, and go with his advice which could mean a surgery to remove it or as the case might be followed by a histo-pathological report of the lesion.
I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
