How To Avoid Infection After Popping Of Lump In Buttocks?
I was in a lot of pain I couldn t sit, barley walk, and above my buttcrack was swollen. I finally discovered that there was a lump right on the inside of my upper buttcrack and that seemed to be the cause of the pain. It came to a head and popped (guessing it was a cyst) so I ve made sure to keep the area extremely clean and help it drain but what should I do now. Also the pain is gone and so is the swelling.
The lump and swelling on the upper part of the buttocks sounds like fistula. If this is your case, this is a type of abscess with many internal buttons. You should see a proctologist to get further examined. Meanwhile, try to keep the area well clean.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Albana Sejdini, General & Family Physician
