I noticed a lump on my butt on the left buttocks near the anus. I was wondering if it is cancer or something else. It is hard. I play a lot of basketball and landed on it a couple times. With pressure, it is really sore. Could someone shead some light?

What's the size of a lump?

For how long you are aware of its presence?

Is it under the skin or its elevated?

What color is and do you find local area discolored?

It is the size a gumball...hard. I noticed it a few weeks ago. It is under the skin, but when you touch it, you can feel it. There is no discoloration from what I can tell, just sore when you touch it.

Thanks so much for your rapid response.

Is this bump causing a painful defecation?
Can you noticed some changes in a meantime?
Has it grown bigger?
Do you feel an intensive pain when you sit down?
Does some pus come out of it?
