Hi my name is Lisa and I am a 24 year old woman. 3 days ago I felt this small lump on the inside of my right bum cheek and has since grown in size and causing great discomfort whilst I sit or lay down. There is only redness if I touch it, there is no puss or no head. The lump is hardly recognisable from the outside but feels alot bigger under the skin. It started off as a pea size but is now currently near, if not bigger than a grape. I would be very grateful if you could help me out as I really don t want to go to my GP. Thank you. Kind Regards, Lisa.
Hi Lisa. The lump you describe could be infective in nature like an abscess in the Ischiorectal area. Therefore, I strongly advice you to consult a Doctor who can examine you and advice you medication or Surgery whichever would be needed to treat the condition. I am unable to tell you with certainty as I have not examined you. But take my advice and consult your GP. Do let us know if there are other queries about your condition. You could also contact us directly by leaving a Direct or a Specialist query. Take care, Chat Doctor.
