A member asked:
What is this stinging painful bump slightly above my butt cheek? should i go to a doctor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes. It could be an abscess ( boil) or infected pilonidal sinus cyst ( if it's in the crease ). Get examined by a physician or surgeon. In the meantime apply hot ( not too hot) water compresses for 15 minutes every few hours until examined.
