What causes bump on butt cheek?
Patient: hello, im 26 year old male and i have this bump inside my lowerleft butt cheek, I noticed it this afternoon when I was have a bowel movement. I looked between my cheeks and didnt see the bump but when i placed my finger where the sensation was, i felt it. When i press on it i do feel some mild discomfort, on pain scale id say its a 3. During my first bowel movement (aprox 10 or 10:30am today (06.15.14)) I didn t feel any bump when whipping myself. It wasn t until aprox 6pm today after my second bowel movement, did I notice the bump when i was whipping. So im figuring that the bump would have had to form between? Please help me figure it out Doctor: HI, thanks for using healthcare magicIt is likely that it formed during this interval since you did not notice it 3 days ago.You would have to monitor it to see if it progresses.It may be a small infected 'hair bump' (folliculitis) or it may be revolving into an abscess (collection of pus).Since it would be difficult for you to see it clearly you may want to visit your doctor for an assessment.I hope this helps
