Hi there i have a lump on my inner butt cheek i have had it on and off now for about a year it feels veey deep and allthough it doesnt necessary bother me it bleeds from time to time and inflames. I have had a pilonidsl abcess before near my cocyx nit sure if this is related this was surgically removed
Hello and welcome to HCM, A recurrent bleeding lump on inner butt cheek could be due to pilonidal sinus only. A pilonidal abscess is characteristically seen in the mid-line but the inflammation and abscess can spread to adjacent sites and cause inflammation of adjacent tissue. A clinical assessment is required to rule out other possibilities. In case the lump is due to pilonidal sinus, it needs to be excised surgically to prevent its recurrence.
Thanks and take care Dr Shailja Puri
