A member asked:
Got painful swelling under my bum cheek do you know what it could be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Like a big pimple?: This is a common location for small abcesses. Treatment is moist heat and waiting. If the abcess is large may need incision and drainage and or antibiotics. Should see doc immediately if you develop any systemic infection or sense that this is involved with your anus or sexual organs.
