What Causes Growing Lump On Buttock Cheek?

Hi, About a week ago i noticed a small lump on my buttock cheek. It got bigger now to the size of about a golf ball. I tried to look at it and feel it - it is not perfectly round, it feels like its oval. Im not sure if its relevant but the days before it started i was flying around the glob for more then 20 hours.

Hi, Thanks for sharing your recent health problem with ahcm!

In fact, If I were your treating Doctor for this case of a growing lump on buttock cheek, I would come up with only one and one possibility that is a sebaceous cyst! Nothing to worry about this and try not to get infected there! However, chronic folliculitis or organizing abscess are also among other possibilities!

I suggest you to go for an FNAC test of the lump for confirmation and to relieve your concerns!

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
