Hard Painful Cyst-like Lump Posted: 07-03-05 07:40am
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.
