A member asked:

Large, painful bump between butt cheeks, right at top of butt. red with white dot in center. slowly leaking pinkish fluid. extremely painful. what is?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Abscess?: If this large, painful lump is leaking fluid and looks inflamed, it could be an abscess and will probably need to be lanced and drained. It's a good idea to go to your physician for evaluation.
