Suggest Treatment For Bump On Gluteal Cleft
Question: I have a problem I have a bump on the side of my butt hole
Brief Answer:
Skin tags or Condyloma/wart
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for using HCM to post your concern,
I saw the picture you have uploaded in our system.
It looks like a wart/condyloma if you have like that in other places. If you are sexually active, and your partner has from them also, it is caused by a sexually transmitted virus called Human Papiloma Virus. In general it may be treated with different creams or also minor surgical removal, but they should not give pain or discomfort.
You should be tested with Pap smears for the other types of HPV though, because they are more dangerous and may cause the carvix cancer. These types of condylomas do not cause cancer in general.
If you are not sexually active, and if you have only that one, then it can be a skin tag. Skin tags are safe and if that bothers you, you can remove that by surgical removal.
Hope this is helpful,
Let me know if you have other questions.
Regards,
Dr. Papaqako

Ok what kind of cream will remove it
Brief Answer:
Some options of treatments
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for asking a follow-up question.
There are several creams that can be helpful with that, but you may need to get a prescription to your local doctor/gynecologist.
Some creams I use with my patients are:
-- podofilox 0.5% (podophyllotoxin) which can be self-administered. It is applied to palpable external warts twice daily for three days, followed by a four day rest period, and then repeated up to four times.
-- A gel consisting of 5-fluorouracil and epinephrine can be injected intralesionally
-- Podophyllin solution when used topically as a single agent once or twice a week has limited success in clearing warts (from 20 to 50 percent clearance at three months). It is typically applied as a 10 to 25% solution in a compound tincture of benzoin. The solution is applied to a small area of skin, allowed to dry, and then washed off after one to four hours of application. No more than 0.5 mL of podophyllin should be applied per treatment session, and the area of application should not exceed 10 cm2. Larger areas should not be treated in a single application because of potential neurotoxicity and pain when the area becomes necrotic. Treatment is repeated weekly, if necessary.
Again, you should consider a visit to the local doctor, who can see them and decide if those are skin tags or warts.
Hope this is helpful.
