Suggest Treatment For Painful Lumps Between And On Buttocks

Painful unshaped lumps inside my buttcheeks. One lump is on the top right cheek then it makes a U shape and is on left cheek too. Near the buttcrack but a little lower. It hurts to sit, walk, lay down, and move. Its a tiny sore lump at the seat of my butt, or right in between my cheeks, thats where it hurts the most. What is this and how can i make it stop?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
i have gone through your query. Your problem can be most likely pilonidal sinus. It is a cyst or abscess in the cleft between the buttocks. If you send a picture then it will be more helpful in identifying. Antibiotic therapy and hot compress will be helpful. But if there is no improvement then surgical excision might be required. It is better to have a consultation with a general surgeon to rule out the condition and to manage it.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
