Suggest Treatment For A Lump In The Pelvic Area

I noticed a lump in my pelvic area near my left hip. It s about the size of a 20 pence piece, hard and a little tender to touch. However I can only feel it when I lay on my back. I m 17 and I ve had hip pain for around 3 years now I wondered if this could be related. I had an x Ray 2 years ago and a blood test last year both showed up clear.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi I am Doctor Fahim, and I will help you with your query.

I have gone through your Question, It appears to be skin condition and not related to hip joint.

Needs answer to the following question for better understanding of your problem
- location of the lump, precise location. Its not in the gluteal cleft?
- any discharge from the lump?
- change in color of overlying skin?

I appears to be boil or sebaceous cyst. Answers to above question will help in diagnosis. If such a patient walks into my clinic I usually suggest tab Co-amoxiclav 625mg 1+1+1, Tab Paracetamol 500mg 1+1+1. If no improvement in symtoms then surgical drainage/excision.

I hope it will help you, do rate my answer if you like it
