What To Do For The Lump In Between The Buttocks?
Experiencing slight pain due to a small lump between upper buttocks area (close to top of buttocks and close to the crease and lower spine). Felt yesterday after sitting around computer for long while. Seems like a lymph node type of lump. Should I be worried? Will it go away? Currently taking antibiotics for UTI (nitrofurantoin) Truly do not have any card for payment sorry. thanks for consideration

Hi
Welcome to hcm
No need to worry. This can be just a small abscess or pilonidal sinus with infection. Your nitrofurantoin will not cover this infection. Before starting antibiotics you should see your surgeon. Pilonedal sinus or abscess needs surgical removal but definately not a magor surgery to worry. If it is not very painful and descreasing in size you can wait for 1 or2days.
Regards.
