What Does A Horizontal Crease On The Buttock After An Injury Indicate?
I fell 2 weeks ago and bruised my shoulder, elbow and right buttock. Most of the bruising is gone but I have a horizontal crease in my right buttock with some discomfort with standing up and sitting down.It does not hurt while sitting. The fact that it is an obvious deep, visible and palpable crease has me concerned.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The horizontal crease could be due to partial tear in the muscles or deeper layer of skin. If it is not causing any problem, just continue with normal life, since these injuries take a long time to heal, in months.
Thanks.
