What causes small lump at the top of my buttocks?
Patient: Ihave a small lump at the top of my buttocks which is extremely painful to sit on. It is quite hard to touch with a small blackish area on it. I am going away tomorrow and despite it hurting I am not too worried but I wondered if theres anything I can do to calm it. I wondered if it could be a splinter or just some kind of cyst or spot? Doctor: Hi,It seems that there might be having some ingrown skin infection and now forming abscess is likely.go for one antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicine course for 3-5 days.Apply antibiotic cream locally.Avoid perspiration on the part.Ok and take care.
