What Is The Lump On Upper Buttock That Increases Back Pain?

I ve had this lump on my upper right buttock for many years and it has caused me pain on and off, kinda hurts when I touch it, and I ve noticed an increase in my back pain... but I haven t thought much into it, it s hard and not visible to the eye but it feels like it s grown over time, what is it?? Oh, and I m a very physical 21yr old woman, if that changes anything..

Hi, If I were your treating Doctor for this case of upper buttock lump, I would come up with three possibilities, these include:

1. The first possibility is of sebaceous cyst or some other cysts like dermoid cyst or bursa cysts! Nothing to worry about these also!

2.     The second possibility is of benign and simple conditions like lipoma or neurofibroma; there is nothing to worry about these!

3. pilonidal sinus or folliculitis like inflammatory conditions...........

I suggest you to go for an FNAC test of the lump for confirmation and to relieve your concerns!

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.
