Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read the history about your husband and understood the problem.

The most probable diagnosis of such a lump inside the butt cheek which has recurred after a few years can be:
Pilonidal sinus or a Fistula in ano.

The best way to get this confirmed is :
Get examined by a General Surgeon.
MRI helps the best to differentiate between the two.
Another possibility can just be a boil.

Any of the diagnosis, the best way is to get properly investigated and get operated .
