Large, Sore Lump On Bum Cheek, Difficulty In Movement, Sore Stomach, Bloating. Have PCOS

Hi, I have an extremely large (feels about the size of a tennis ball) extremely sore lump on my left bum cheeck near my anus. It hurts to walk, it hurts to sit down, it hurts when I move, it hurts when I move my legs. And I have been feeling very unwell, feeling sick with a very sore stomach, and also feeling very bloated as well as feeling dizzy with a constant sore head. I have PCOS, I don t know if it is something to do with this but I just thought I would tell you. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much. Kind regards Stephanie

Hello, Stephanie,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
I would come up with these possibilities for this bump , these includes.
1 Skin infection or pyoderma ( popularly known as boils), cause may be streptococcus or staphylococcus . A swab from infected bump will find out the exact nature of bacteria.
2 Cellulitis , this is the most common reason n this area due to friction . Diagnosis can be confirmed by physical examination be a dermatologist.
3 Diabetes carbuncle may be the next reason.Diagnosis can be confirmed by examination for blood sugar level.
pcod has nothing to do with this bump.
In my opinion consult a dermatologist and get his opinion.
Good luck.
