Are Recurring Lumps On The Buttocks Malignant?

Hi I have a bump on my butt that has been there for probably a couple of mouths and it popped and then went away and then it came back in a couple of weeks:/ and then it popped again and kinda scarred over but it still is kinda there and then I have a new bump that came a few days ago:/ Is it skin cancer??? Is it boils??? I am so scared.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi.

This is not cancer, it is most probably an underlying abscess which requires drainage and antibiotic coverage, without which it seems to be recurring. So please visit a doctor or a general surgeon who should be able to soolve this issue of yours.

Best wishes.
