Question 1

i have a large lump on my bum hole. it is very sore. could it be serious?

Accepted Answer

Perianal abscess?: This sounds like a perianal abscess or something similar. It could be serious if not properly treated, which might include incision to drain pus and/or an antibiotic prescription. See a doctor ASAP. If any fever, get seen immediately,

Question 2

i found a lump/spot on my bum hole? what is it?

Accepted Answer

Anal lump: An external hemorrhoid would be the commonest thing  causing a lump in the anus. These may be painless, itchy, may bleed and if a blood clot forms in one, they become quite painful and tender. Other anal lumps can be benign skin tags or an abscess which is usually painful, tender and filled with pus.. See your physician for diagnosis, however.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Infection : The injection may have precipitated an abscess. See your Family Practitioner for review

Accepted Answer

Changes: Is it changing?
should be getting smaller? if getting bigger or painful need to be seen

Question 5

i have a hard lump that's mildly painful if i press it. it developed after an injection in the buttock. it's been there for about a month now. is this normal? will it go away on its own?

Accepted Answer

Hematoma: It sounds like a gluteal hematoma, or bleeding inside the muscle. Most go away in few weeks, some may last indefinitely. Other causes may not be ruled out, if it persists your doc will be best to assess.

Question 6

i am experiencing buttock lump. it is painful when applied pressure.

Accepted Answer

Buttock lump: Any lump needs to be examined by your doctor.  Please see him/her.  It may be as simple as a boil or cyst or something else.  PEace and good health.

Question 7

i have a lump in my buttock.touching the lump feels like needle poking into my buttock.

Accepted Answer

Abscess: An abscess would be my first thought.

Question 8

hi i injected my self with an im injection in my buttock. i developed a painful hard lump, now is about 5 in long, no redness or temp?

Accepted Answer

See doctor: You probably introduced infection along with the injection. What did you inject and why? For the short term you need treatment for the self induced injury and for the long term you may need counseling to straighten out whatever made you do this self destructive thing.
Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Question 9

there is a huge painfull lump inside buttock cheek of my boyfriend. its hard and maybe 2 inches or more long and maybe 1 inch wide.no head.?

Accepted Answer

Abscess forming: The skin on buttock is rather thick and abscesses generally take longer for the "head" to come to the skin. Your bf is having an abscess forming and thus should be seen--he may need it lanced and possible treatment with an antibiotic. It is really a pain in the _ _ _ but should be checked out.  Good luck.

Question 10

i have a circular lump (1.5-2cm diameter) in my buttock for around 6 months. it is completely painless. skin colour. it is smooth. it just got slightly big. i can push it.

Accepted Answer

Show to your doctor: Lumps under the skin that are painless, slowly enlarge over time, and can be moved around (mobile) are likely to be a lipoma (fatty tumor) or cyst (sebaceous cyst for instance). Lumps at the surface of the skin can include moles and skin cancers. Any masses should be brought to the attention of your doctor. He/she can determine if it should be watched or treated by excision/biopsy.
