Suggest Remedy For Painful Spot On Buttocks

I have a VERY painful spot on my buttocks, I think it's a hematoma. I noticed it 6 weeks ago after a hysterectomy, but it's beginning to get worse
. My primary care had no idea what it was, she told me to go to dermatologist. I soaked in hot water yesterday, and now it's doubled in size and pain!

Hi,

I have gone through your medical history carefully and I highly suggest not to soak in hot water until it is found out what is causing this painful spot.

If it is hematoma, hot water will aggravate it (that's why it was doubled in size and pain) because it has persisted for 6 weeks now.

I highly advise to consult with dermatologist or surgeon (proctologist) to determine the final diagnosis and treatment.

Wish fast recovery!
