Suggest Treatment For Growing Bump On Buttocks

I fell and have a large bump on my left butt cheek and a bruise all the way down to my knee. The bump has gotten bigger and the skin around it feels like it has been scraped but is not scraped. Very sensitive and can t roll over on it. It has been 2 weeks. Any suggestions

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have growing bump on buttocks which seems to be due to internal hemorrhoids, anal fissures, hair follicle infection leading to folliculitis and it could be due to furuncle or boil. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to apply topical antibacterial ointment such as gentamycin and wear loose clothes. Avoid pinching and popping the area as can get further infected. You should take a pain killer such as paracetamol for one to two times daily. You should take course of oral antibiotics to prevent further infection. Maintain complete hygiene and keep area little dry. Visit dermatologist once if symptoms keeps on persisting. Start treatment after complete examination and proper prescription.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
