What Causes Hard Lump On Hip And Buttock Area?
Hello, I have a large hard oval lump on my right hip/buttock area. It's about an inch long by a half-inch wide and is painful when touched. I had this condition a year ago, and it went away in a few days. I originally thought that it was a bruise. Thank you

Hi.
Any lump which is growing a regressing can be an infected sebaceous cyst.
Another probable diagnosis can be a lipoma.
As the part on which this lump is there is always moving , can be an area of pressure it is always advisable to get this operated.
2 benefits- one you get the disease out of the body and you get a tissue diagnosis.
