What Causes Small Lump At The Top Of My Buttocks?
Ihave a small lump at the top of my buttocks which is extremely painful to sit on. It is quite hard to touch with a small blackish area on it. I am going away tomorrow and despite it hurting I am not too worried but I wondered if theres anything I can do to calm it. I wondered if it could be a splinter or just some kind of cyst or spot?

Hi,
It seems that there might be having some ingrown skin infection and now forming abscess is likely.
go for one antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicine course for 3-5 days.
Apply antibiotic cream locally.
Avoid perspiration on the part.
Ok and take care.
