Suggest Treatment For Small Fleshy Bump On The Buttocks

Posted on Wed, 15 Jul 2015

Question: I just noticed about two or three days ago a small, fleshy bump on my left butt cheek near the crack but on the cheek still. It doesnt seem like it has grown much but I dont recall how long its been there either. I just noticed it a couple days ago but I dont check back there that often so who knows how long I have had it. It is small, soft, and flesh colored and does not give me any discomfort, just anxiety. Is this common, will it go away on its own? What do you think?

Brief Answer:
Benign leasion. No need to worry.

Detailed Answer:
It looks like a benign skin lesion. This is nothing serious. However most likely it wont go away by its own. If it bother you, you should show it to dermatologist and have it removed and tested. This is the best way to find out the exact reason.

Thank you so much, I figured if it was serious it would have turned red, swelled up and been painful. I was more worried about the "c" word. Is there a specific condition that this looks like to you? Should I worry about getting it checked out or just keep an eye on it myself? Thanks you

Brief Answer:
Wait and see.

Detailed Answer:
From attached image it is hard to determine specific condition as the image does not show it clearly.
You may wait and see with it. For sure it is nothing urgent and not a cancer. If it will be getting larger or change size, shape, color, consult dermatologist.
