Found Lump In The Buttocks Region. Could It Be Cyst Or Lipoma?

That said, there are a few problems that can present as lumps in the buttocks that are more serious (e.g., peri-rectal abscesses). However, these conditions are typically associated with other symptoms, such as night sweats, pain with bowel movements, fever, chills or weight loss.
Obviously, it isn't possible to diagnose your problem without an examination. Statistically, your lump is most likely a benign problem that can be easily addressed. Lipomas and subcutaneous cysts can usually be removed in a physician's office under local anesthetic. For the time being, you might try getting a doughnut pillow and placing it on your chair so the lump is in the hole of the doughnut. This will relieve the pressure on surrounding structures. If your pain becomes severe or if you develop other symptoms, call your doctor to see if he/she can see you sooner, or go to the nearest ER or urgent care center. If things remain stable, it's okay to wait until your appointment.
I hope that answers your question. I'll be available if you have additional concerns.
Good luck!


Cheers
