Hello, my daughter started walking weird and wouldn t tell me anything, finally I talked to her and she didn t know what happend. Yesterday she said her back hurt we looked and found nothing today, I asked her again and she said it was a rash, I looked and in between her buttocks she has a ball growing and its very uncomfortable. She can t sit on her butor lay down because it hurts her. Is this a bite?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that it may be an abscess which is a localized collection of pus. It would be painful. In the early stages it would be a firm mass that would eventually soften and discharge.
Treatment : incision and drainage of the abscess and antibiotics.
She should be taken to her doctor to determine if this is the cause of her symptoms.
Recovery, after treatment, is usually complete
I hope this helps
