I have a pimple on my left Side of my buttocks not on the crack but where the cheeks meet it has recently popped should I be concerned and should I see a doctor or can I just treat at home with anabiotic s or something it only hurt while it was still forming but now that it has popped I don t really feel any pain except for when I squeeze it to make sure its drained fully and a little irritation since it s between the cheeks

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns.

As per your complain a pimple like lesion over the buttock can be due to clogging of dirt and debris and can lead to hair follicle infection of folliculitis..
It can also be carbuncle or boil..
Nothing to worry as it will resolve easily wth treatment..
I would suggest you to wash the area with an antiseptic soap and luke warm water..
Dry the area and apply antiseptic cream or ointment over it..
You can also do warm compresses over it by soaking a cotton cloth in warm water and apply over the area for few minutes..
You should keep the area dry and clean and always wash you buttocks and other internal areas atleast every alternate day with a mild body shampoo or soap and water to prevent clogging of debris and preventing infection..
Keep the area well moisturized with a body lotion,,

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
