What Causes A Lump Within The Deep Subcutaneous Tissue Of The Buttock?
Question: Hi.I have a deep lump in right buttock.
Brief Answer:
abscesses need to be drained
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for your question.
it sounds like you have an abscess on your buttock. These are common and need a complete drainage to heal up.
You can try soaking in a tub of water to encourage it to drain or using warm compresses on it.
However, if it is large and painful you probably need to see a doctor for a complete drainage. Sometimes the skin around it is also infected and you need an antibiotic.
If this is not clearing up in a few days or if it is very large and painful see a doctor as soon as possible for drainage.
Please let me know if you have further questions
