What Do Itchy Bumps Near Buttocks While Taking Progesterone Shots Suggest?
In the small of my back (close to buttocks) there are two small pockets to the right and left of spine. The one one the right now has a growing lump. I am pregnant (over 40) and receiving progesterone shots on buttocks muscle weekly, but far to the the right of the location of this bump. What could this be? It itches at times, which is how I found it.
