Need Treatment For Swollen Lump On The Cheek Area
My husband had a large swollen lump under the skin of his left butt cheek area. it is on the inside more where the butt checks touch and it hurts to sit. He also has some other smaller lumps that are similar but seemed to be more like ingrown hairs on his legs.

Hi.
The treatment depends on how old is the swelling.
If this is very recent, painful, throbbing- this looks to be abscess and needs incision and drainage and to find whether this is a fistula in the offing.
If this is very old , it can be a sebaceous cyst or a lipoma to think as the commonest cause . Needs excision and histology examination.
