What Causes Painless Lump On The Buttock?
Question: I have a soft lump on my left buttocks. It is not painful at all. What could this be?
Brief Answer:
Lipoma or sebaceous cyst.
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query, albeit short and specific.
The painless lump on the buttock can be:
A lipoma
A sebaceous cyst
Out of these the lipoma is free off the skin and can be moved in any direction, has a typical firm consistency and not at all tender.
The Sebaceous cyst is attached to the skin by the duct hence limits the movement and a spot of the blocked duct is usually visible.
I hope this answers your query.
