How To Treat A Sore Bruise And Lump On Buttocks?

My daughter has a very sore bruise on her butt crack. She's had it for about a week. It seems to be red, purple, and swollen and feels as if there is a lump there. She doesn't know what she could have done to get this, and it doesn't seem to be getting better. Any ideas? Her age is 24, a little overweight, but in general good health.

Hi,Dear,
Thanks for the query to HCM. I studied your problem in depth and I understood your concerns.
Cause and plan of Treatment-
In my opinion on the given data,you seem to have bruise with cellulitis around it due to infection of the bruise.Its not getting better due to the friction at the butt crack between 2 butt cheeks.
Treatment-Consult ER Surgeon / and take anti-inflammatory / and antibiotics for 5 days time, and this would resolve the issue of the lump on buttocks.
Plz check out with your ER Surgeon who would treat it accordingly.
So don't build up wrong concepts and self medicate your self which would increase risks and costs to you.
Instead just ask a query to HCM and be comfortable to resolve your health issues.
Welcome for any more query in this regard to HCM.

Have a Good Day.
