Hi,Good Morning-from INDIA.I am Dr.Savaskar M.N.here to take of your health query from HCM virtual Clinic. Thanks for your Health-query to HCM Clinic.
-I studied your query in-depth and I understood your concerns.
-My opinion-Its a infection of the hair follicle of the butt cheek, caused in the bruised ,frictioned butt tissue there.
-It painful on pressure due to the cellulitic spread around the hair follicle.
-Its not much serious as it could be treated and would go away in 2-3 days time after treatment with your family doctor.
-Advise-Right doctor to consult is -Surgeon- whou would treat after clinical examination accordingly-
a-tb-NSAIDs-To reduce the cellulitis and pain associated with it.
b-Antibiotics-according to the severity or mildness of the infection in the boil.
So dont worry -this boil or/ infected hair follicle will recover soon.
-Still if it worries you, Consult your family doctor or Surgeon which would re-assure you.
Hope this would help you recover fast out of the butt cheek Lump anxiety.
Wellcome to HCM again for better Health and Living.
