Lump near bum hole?

10 replies

Marvelfan300 · 05/06/2025 09:09

I’ve booked a doctors appointment but I’m so worried I’ve found a small lump near my bum hole more to the left of it pea size quite sore when touched and gets bigger if I touch it also slightly itchy?

I don’t think it’s the pilondial cyst as this isn’t located near the tailbone but inside the bum cheek close to the bum hole. It’s not also hemorhaoid like as I have one due to child birth. Any help? Worried it’s something sinister as I’ve never had one before!!

Hemmoroid probably?

They come in all shapes and sizes and no two are the same 🤣

It’s near my current one just behind it, it’s under the skin quite sore and itchy it resembles cyst like but as I had a similar looking in my armpit? But unsure

Not an expert but would also assume hemorrhoid.

Anal skin tag?

Have you tried Savlon and warm compressed/ sitz baths?

Hi @Marvelfan300 did the antibiotics work on the end?

I'm in the same situation now, starting the flucloxacillen today and hoping for the best.

Hello yes they did! Hoping yours works for you also! Started to notice a difference by day 3! Was just about feeling it by day 6 and fully dispersed after the course!

Thanks so much @Marvelfan300

I've done 3 days now and it's not getting bigger and seems less sore so fingers crossed.
