Suggest Remedy For Pain Near Rectum And Hard Lump Under Buttock Cheek

Since Monday I notice pain near my rectum today after investigating further I found that I have a large, hard, lump mass underneath the skin on my left butt cheek, no it the rectum/anus itself but more so underneath the skin of the lower left butt cheek. My Dr. does not have any appointments open till the 20th. Should I go to the ER. Is it cancer?

Welcome to health care magic.

1.No the history you have given does not suggest any cancer, it only suggest a superficial/ subcutaneous lump with pain.
2.That could be hair follicle infection, lipomas, or superficial abscess.
3.Would recommend you to see the doctor / GP , he will examine the case and do needful investigations done.
4.If there is any pus discharge / collection noted - a course of antibiotic would help.
5.If in case its bigger a small incision and drainage would be helpful followed by the antibiotic treatment. Good luck.

Hope i have answered your query.
