Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hey so all of a sudden I noticed two large red lumps that showed up. One is on the inside of my right butt cheek towards the top where the two meet a little below the tail bone. The other is on the left side underneath my genitals. Neither have formed a head or started to drain or anything just some swelling and redness.
Hello, Welcome to HCM. The buttock and genital area are prone to develop this kind of abscess due to high density of sweat and sebaceous glands along with hair. You should apply antibiotic cream like betadine locally and some analgesics like paracetamol along with ibuprofen. both are available over the counter. Wait and watch for a few days. They should form a tip and drain by themselves. If you observe rapid increase in size or pain or develop fever than you should consult GP. Otherwise it should resolve in a few days. Hope this will be helpful. Thanks for using HCM. Do ask if any further question is there. Take care.
