Q: Hard Painful Cyst-like Lump

Hi everyone, I don't know where to ask this but I guess I should try in the skin disorder forum.

I'm out of ideas what this might be, but I would like to ask before I go to the doctor's. Just above my behind (i don't know how to call it really so i'll be a bit vulgar and say where my ass-crack is and it goes towards my right upper butt cheak) I have a hard lump formed under skin. It's about an inch and a half in size and in the middle has like a brownish cap that when squeezed oozes bloodish foul smelling liquid. I noticed it 3 days ago and is very painful that I have to position myself when I sit to make the pain go away. I'm a bit concerned with what it might be.

Do you have any ideas what it might be or if there's reason for real concern?

It sounds like a cyst. I get them and they are usually in the crease of my thigh or anywhere that sweat gets trapped. They can be really painful. It is usually a pimple that gets infected or an ingrown hair. The only difference in what you are describing is the smell. When mine finally drain, which makes it feel better. It doesn't smell like anything. I would get it checked out just in case. You never know. Good luck.
