What Is A Lump On My Left Butt Cheek That Looks Like A Bruise From Afar?

default
Posted on Tue, 26 Sep 2023
Question: I have a lump on my left butt cheek. I first noticed it months ago, it was a lot smaller then. It was under my skin and hard to find at times. I started to massage it thinking it would go away with warm compression but it only seemed to make it worse. It looks like a bruise from afar but you can see a circle lump now. It is sometimes painful when I touch it in certain places, and especially if I sit on the toilet. When I try to feel around it it seems hard around it but squishy in the middle almost as if the center was filled with fluid. It’s become very bothersome. I’m afraid to go to doctor and have them cut it put and pack it with gauze, and will that leave a dent on my butt? I’m freaking out. Please help me
