How To Treat A Painful Lump On The Butt Cheeks?

I have an internal lump inbetween my buttcheeks. it s not a cyst I m pretty sure. or anything like that. because it doesn t seem very poppable. there s no physical evidence other than a lump that I can feel . and until just recently it is becoming reddish. it started acting like this around a year or two ago, it hurt for about 2 weeks then it didn t bother me anymore. I still had the internal lump. and three days ago it started acting up again.it hurts extremely bad.cant lay in my back without wanting to cry. I m female 20 years old. I just need to know what s goin on. I don t have medical so I can t really go to the doctor just yet. wondering if you all knew? it isn t a pimple or anything poppable. maybe drainable?

Hi, If I were your treating Doctor for this case of this painful lump, I would come up with three possibilities, these include:
1.     chronic abscess or infective condition; could be folliculitis!

2.     The second possibility is of benign and simple conditions like papilloma, polyp, lipoma or neurofibroma with pressure effects; there is nothing to worry about these!

3.     The last possibility is of a parasitic infection

there is not to worry much but you should consult your local doctor for examination!

I suggest you to go for an FNAC of the lump for confirmation and to relieve your concerns!

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
