How To Remove Lump On Buttocks Caused After A Fall?
So About 2 Years Ago I Fell Down A Flight of Stairs , Landing Hard On My Buttocks . I Immediately Developed A Large Knot On My Left Butt Cheek & Went To The ER . They Said That Nothing Was Broken or Torn & That It Would Go Away On Its Own . Well It s Been 2 Years Now & Hasn t Gone Away Yet . What Kind of Specialists Do I Need To See About This or What Surgery May Need To Be Done To Remove The Knot ?

Hello and welcome to HCM,
A lump formed after sustaining a fall and trauma could be due to hematoma formation.
A fall can result in internal bleeding and hematoma formation.
With passage of time, the hematoma can get organized and fibrosed and this can lead to lump formation.
The fibrosed lump is harmless and is of no consequence.
Thanks and take care
