What Causes Painful Small Pea Sized Lump On Perineum?

Hi I have a small peas size lump on my perineum it s been getting inflamed more in the last few days and more tender with sharp pains when sitting down. I ve tryed to squeeze it thinking it s a ingrowing hair but only a small amount of blood came out. It s very painful to squeeze. Thanks in advance.

Hi, thanks for sharing your health concerns with HCM!
If I were your treating Doctor for this case of perineal nodule, I would come up with three possibilities, these include:

1.     skin or hair follicle infection due to some friction injury
2.     The second possibility is of an ischiorectal abscess      
3.     The last possibility is of some infected cyst or pilonidal sinus
     
Overall, it is inflammatory / infective and not worry about this!

I suggest you to go for ice/cold compress in the region with local hygiene and take some topical antibiotics and wait for 2/3 day; if not relieved please don't forget to write to us again...

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.
