My son has a lump between his butt cheeks the size of a quarter. There is a small leasion at the bottom of the lump. When pressure is allied blood comes out. I just drained about 5ml of blood from it. He has no discomfort when it s pushed on. He does not remember any kind of injury and runs track. He is a healthy 16 year old. Thanks for any insight on this. We have a regular physical set for him on August 24...
Hello and thanks you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein and I will try to help you as much as I can with my answer.
Considering you description, there is so called pylonidal sinus or cyst and this is common in his age. Thisis small abscess under the skin in perianal or intergluteal area and it should be surgically treated in this phase by incision and drainage of pus. Later, when it heals, it should be treated with permanet excision of the cyst and abdominal surgeon should perform it.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
