Reason for lump just below the hip bone?
Patient: hi, i have a hard lump just below my hip bone. i am a male, 44 yr old. i get bumps from time to time, but haven't one in about 5 yrs. tis one seems slightly tho, as it has to head... but when i squeeze it, a little bit of white pus comes out. also about an inch right around the 'head' there is a hard lump underneath the skin. i suppose it is where the pus has gathered. can you tell me what this might be? Doctor: Hi, dear. I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have infected cyst or abscess formation.  So pus comes out from it. You should go for examination.  If it is abscess then go for incision and drainage.  If it is some cyst or other lesion then go for removal of it. Then do hp examination. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
