What Could Circular, Nodular Like Hard, Moving Lesion Near Perinium Between Vagina And Anus Suggest?
About a month ago I noticed a circular nodular type lesion and right below the surface of my skin close to my perinium on the right side between my vagina and anus. It feels slightly hard and round and moves when I press it around. There is no pain and nothing around it seems affected. What could it be?

Hi,
At this area, it may indicate several issues and most common are a pilonidal cyst or perianal abscesses.
These are inflammatory processes in the sacral and perianal area usually manifested with pain, redness, swelling, fever and pus discharge. Cellulitis is less common and may be present in the sacral area as well.
This is mostly caused by beta-hemolytic streptococcus and it necessitates antibiotic treatment with augmentin, or combination of ciprinol+ metronidazole.
You should also, apply cold compresses, take nonsteroid painkillers such as Ibuprofen and rest. If there is no improvement within 2 days, you should see doctor and have intravenous antibiotics.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
