A member asked:

Large boil like thing on the inside of my buttocks cheek. it's soft and dark red. it comes and goes every few months. what is it and how to treat it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Boil?: If it is red swollen and painful ( like a boil ) it probably is a boil. Recurrence makes me wonder whether or not you might have a sebaceous cyst. If this is the case you might benefit from excision. When it occurs best treatment is probably warm compresses a few times/day.
