I have a hard almond size lump near my perineum, it s just off to the side. I believe it is a pimple I popped it once but now it is still red and hard and hurts when I touch it. It almost feels like it could be popped again but there is no head and it is very painful. I have been putting hot clothes on it in hopes to reduce the swelling. Any answers as to what I should do?
Hi, If I were your treating Doctor for this case of a perineal lump, I would come up with only one and one possibility that is an infected sebaceous cyst! Nothing to worry about this and take antibiotics and cold compress! I suggest you to go for an FNAC test of the lump for confirmation and to relieve your concerns if anything wrong like tuberculosis! However, it needs surgical excision for cure... Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. Wishing you good health.
