What Does A Pimple Near Anus Indicate?
Hi, My 3 year old has had a pimple like growth on his buttocks (by his anus) for over a month now. It is only one, on a small scar he has since he was weeks old (the area was once drained after a cyst there was found- they were unable to culture it). The tiny bump does not seem to be fluid filled or hard. It is not red or painful. At first I thought it was a cyst, I thought I saw a tiny black dot on it but it may be my imagination. It appears to have gotten a tiny bit bigger. Should I be worried about a bump that has not gone away?

Hi Dear
Welcome to the HCM,
It all appears to be left over skin tag after the excision of the cyst.
Photograph of the lesion would have helped to explain you better.
Hope the query is answered.
thanks
