Suggest Treatment For A Painful Lump Inside The Buttocks
hi i have recently found a lump just on the inside of my bum cheek it has only been there for about two days but i find it really painful when i walk and sit it is a hard lump that is slightly red do you have any ideas as to what it could be and how i would treat it ?
I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..
As per your complain it seems that painful lump inside the bumcheek that is painful in walking and appearing as a hard and red lump can be a Perianal abscess.. It occurs most commonly due to hairfollicle infection while other causes can be infected gland in the area or infection in the skin leading to pus formation under the skin..
I would suggest you to consult a Proctologist or Anorectal surgeon or you can even see a general surgeon and get evaluated. He can advise you a course of antibiotics, anti inflammatory painkiller and topical application of antibiotic, steroid and numbing ointment.. Do warm compresses as it can ease in draining it off.. If it does not improve or start worsening then Incision and Drainage can help in faster resolution..
Hope this information helps..
Thanks and regards. Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
