What Is The Medium Sized,inflamed Lump On The Buttock?

I have a medium sized bump on the lower part of my buttcheek. Almost near the crease in my upper thigh and cheek. It is very inflamed but not pus filled. It lies right on my underwear line and is painful. When I feel it, it does not feel like there is anything in it, just swollen.

Hi, thanks for sharing your health concerns with HCM!

If I were your treating Doctor for this case of painful lump on lower buttock, I would come up with three possibilities, these include:
1.     skin or hair follicle infection due to some friction injury
2.     The second possibility is of a dermatofibroma or scab      
3.     The last possibility is of some infected sebaceous cyst or parasitic cyst!
     
Overall, it is inflammatory and not worry about this!

I suggest you to go for ice/cold compress in the region with local hygiene and take some topical antibiotics and wait for 2/3 day; if not relieved please don't forget to write to us again...or go for an FNAC test for confirmation...

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.
