Will A Small Lump On The Left Butt Cheek That Is Painful And Tender To Touch Require Operation ?
I Have A Small Lump On The Left Cheek Of My Buttocks, Kinda Near The Crack. It s Beneath The Skin And It s Not Draining Any Fluid. It s Just REALLY Painful To Sit Correctly Or Lay On My Back And It s Tender To Touch. What Could This Be And Will I Need An Operation To Resolve The Problem?
HI. Thanks for your query. A small painful lump on left cleft butt cheek can be simply a boil or an infected sebaceous cyst. This is usually opened up in a few days on its own. I would advise you the following:: Sterile dressing after application of liquid povidone iodine. A short course of an antibiotic and Ibuprofen. Consult a General Surgeon to confirm that this is boil or pilonidal sinus, as pilonidal sinus will require a formal surgery.
