What To Do For The Lump Or Fluid In The Butt Cheek?
I am a 26 year old, active female. I weigh 135 pounds. I took a BMX bike off a jump into a pond and didn't let go fast enough and took the pedal to my right butt cheek. I had a massive bruise that healed after about 6 weeks. However, now I am left with a huge dent in my butt cheek. When I push on it, it almost feels as if there is lumps or fluid inside. Can this be fixed?

Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
Yes, certainly this can be fixed. Iwould advise such a patient - rather would take the patient for the ultrasonography and aspirate with needle if there is fluid. Aspirates maximum, see what it is - to confirm this as a seroma/ hematoma or retained abscess. and treat accordingly. Antibiotics only if there is pus otherwise repeated aspirations and compression dressings should be sufficient for the cure.
