Why is there a painfull lump at the top of my butt crack?

Question

okay well I just noticed it last week, there is a pain full lump at the very top of my butt crack. Its rather embarrassing it seems like its getting bigger because at first it didn't hurt that much but now when I lye down on my back or sit at a certain angle it hurts really bad. I currently go to a university and I'm not sure if they can provide any treatment. what is the cause of this and why did it happen?

Answer 1

I agree with dumplin,  it sounds like a cyst or abscess of some kind.  Get to the doc and get it checked out.  Bless your heart!

Answer 2

its a pilonidal cyst ,it is an in growing hair and if it gets real bad will need cutting out,but will need anti biotics anyway ,so see a doctor soon

Answer 3

It could be a tail growing in!

Haha lol Sorry but go to a doctor it may be a cyst or tumor. Only a doctor can tell you for sure

Answer 4

Sounds like Stubby is knowledgeable about the tail thing..... He has the right name....
