What Is The Cure For The Lump On The Buttock Near The Cleavage?

I have had for approx.5 days this lump on my left upper butt cheek near the cleavage of my buttox. At first it was uncomfortable and as of yesterday I couldn't barely even walk. Bending down or laying down on my back was out of the question. The weird thing is it's not red or any color. Just hurts. This morning I got up because it hurt so bad and went to the restroom and after having a bowel movement I turned to reach for toilet paper and I felt something pop. I cleaned everything up and in the mirror gently pressed on the bump and this clear/white/reddish fluid came out. I kept pushing until the lump seemed a little smaller and majority of the discharge was blood. What is this? And can I take care of this on my own?

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Most likely you are dealing with pilonidal cyst. Due to ingrown hair, tissues starts to surround it and create a cyst. Such cyst can be seen as a little hole between the buttocks.
When the cyst became inflamed, pus accumulates in it and it gives strong pain. The lump usually becomes hard. When the pus is evacuated, the pain goes away. However the cyst is still there so it can again become an abscess.

That is why I suggest you to consult a surgeon and have it removed.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
