What would cause a hard painful lump in my but cheek? There is no discoloration and travels along from near base of scrotum, around anus, towards coccyx. Has not affected my bowel or bladder function. I have been having some general body aches and feels like low grade fever but Advil a couple times per day seems to help. Not sure if fever and aching from this or from 2 other family members who are sick.
Hi! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. From the history it seems that there was cellulitis/abscess formation in the area which caused so much of pain and fever in you. If I were your doctor, I would examine the lesion physically, and go for an FNAC if felt necessary. For the initial period, I would advise you for an anti-inflammatory and an anti-biotic along with a proton pump inhibitor for a symptomatic relief. If there was no relief, I might go for an incision and Chat Doctor.  Other conditions giving rise to fever might have to be excluded later. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor
