I have a lump on my right butt cheek. I don t know if it is viaible or red for when I stand in front of the mirror I can not see it but it does hurt when I touch it. Is this something serious like a tumor or cancer? How can I treat it to go away? I do not feel it when Im sitting or walking just when I touch it or I m laying down I feel it being there
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, A lump or swelling in the buttock region needs to be investigated. The swelling is most probably a soft tissue swelling since soft tissue swellings are common in this region. Certain investigations are required to know the nature of the lesion. An aspiration cytology of the swelling needs to be done to know the exact nature of the swelling. In aspiration cytology, a needle is inserted into the swelling, cells are aspirated, spread on a slide and stained with appropriate stains. The stained cells are studied microscopically to know the nature and character of the lesion. Thus, consult your primary healthcare provider for clinical assessment, investigations and thus management. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.
