I have a hard painful lump on the
I have a hard painful lump on the inside of the lower part of my left butt cheek. When I am sitting down then try to get up it's painful. Any pressure I put on my left leg while walking hurts in that area. Even when I try to get up from laying down it seems as though I am putting too much pressure, and it hurts. It hurts when Im taking a shower and cleaning in that area, also it hurts when I try to wipe myself when I'm done using the bathroom. It hurts with the slightest touch. What could this be, and what could the cause of this be from. It's so painful.

Hi,
From your description of the pain, this appears to be an abscess. It may be a pilonidal or a perinatal abscess.
I suggest you see our doctor for an examination. You may need antibiotics or surgical drainage.
Regards,
Dr K A Pottinger
