What Causes A Itchy Red Lump On The Butt Cheek?
Hello, I recently got a bump on my butt that grew really big,itched, and extremely painful. It looked as if I got bit by something but when I went to the doctor they said it looked like a fruncle some type of ingrown hair. but I don t shave my butt... anywho it got smaller and for some days now it eventually popped and puss and blood is coming out even to this day. Any clue of what this could be or is it really a Fruncle

Hi,
It seems that there is ingrown hair follicle infection producing boil or abscess.
This infection can occur without shaving razor.
Due to friction or stretching of hair follicle does cause this infection.
Clean the part with antiseptic lotion and dress it with antibiotic cream.
Go for one antibiotic medicine course for 3-5 days.
Keep local hygiene clean and dry.
Ok and take care.
