What Causes Lumps On Buttocks?

I have a hard lump on the bum cheek near my anus but it s on the cheek, it is really painful and dark in colour it has no puss when I squeeze it and I once pierced it with a needle to relieve the pressure it pored out with blood. It didn t go down in size. It s also painful to sit on. it goes after a while then comes back in the same place and some times on the other bum cheek another one appears. It s about the size of a Brussel sprout please help me.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

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

As per your complain it seems that painful and hard lump near the anus over the butt cheek that bleed on lancing and tender to touch, seems most probably be due to formation of a Perianal abscess that has not yet started draining..

It occurs most commonly due to hair follicle 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.
