Six days ago I was taking a shower and when I was cleaning my butt I noticed a lump: it was really small and purple-ish, but didn t hurt or anything. Today, six days later, it feels like it has shrinken -- doesn t feel exactly like a lump anymore, like it has spread and gotten smaller -- and it still doesn t hurt but I noticed a purple line that is in the middle of my butt crack and has like 1 inche. It had never seen it before today. If it helps, today I exercised and ran a lot and I am not used to do that. Please help me. Is it serious? Will it go away on its own or should I hush to the doctor?
They way your are describing, it looks like a pilonidal sinus.. It's a condition in which you will have small tract communicating between your skin and underlying tissue. Usually it occurs in midline between you buttock..mostly occurs in people who sit for prolonged time(drivers)... But it will present with watery or pus discharge.. Better to consult a surgeon.. Hope I answered your query
