Tender Lumps On The Buttocks. Severe Pain. Bacterial Infection?
I have two hard but tender lumps above my butt crack. You can not see the lumps you can only feel them. They are very painful and make it difficult to do daily activities. There is no discoloration however on the inside of the top half of my crack it's painful. I've had this for about 4days. I've been applying alcohol and neosporn for the past two days. Is this bacterial?
Hi thanks for writing here.Hard painful lums are suggestive of bacterial infection.These are skin deep infections.You need to take oral antibiotics like amoxyclav and analgesics like combiflam.There is no use of applying topical medicines in such cases.Do not try to squeeze or rupture the lumps.Use hot fomentation.I hope this can solve your query.Take care.
