Question: Been to GP and was useless, can you help its slightly embarassing so no daft answers (10 points for best).?
ok about 4 months ago i had this pain- its right at the verry top of my bum crack, it feels like its on my tail bone ,
right it started as a little lump that became swolen about 2cm and was sore when i sat down or streched.

2 weeks after noticing it and when it was sore i went to my gp- i was alittle shy as where it was located and i needed to spead my bum cheeks for him to feel it so i didnt get on the exam table but bent over it, he felt it and said ive just banged it, he didnt look at it tho just felt it,
i explaied i didnt bang it but he said i have and not noticed.

a week later i felt a mushy feeling where it is and loads of puss and clear liquid mixed with blood came out like a massif spot or cyst,

so i dismised it as that, but the pain is still there whenever i move/strech or sit down,

when i try and look at it in the mirror it looks like there is a 5mm hole in my skin that is red and often bloody, it still weeps and is sore,

sometimes after a number 2 there is residue from the wound on the tissue.

if it was a spor or syst wouldnt it of dleared up by now, what do you think it could be.Health Question & Answer


Answers:
it was probably a cyst, and no, it wouldn't have cleared up by now. sometimes they have to lance them, and in order to get them to heal you have to pack them with gauze several times a day every day. i've been told they heal from the inside out rather than the outside in like most wounds. if there's even a little left on the inside of the wound it could (and probably will) come back. go back to your doctor and show it to him this time, i know it's embarrassing but these things can grow up to the size of a grapefruit, if not bigger.Health Question & Answer

you have an abscess. You need to go back to the doctor and have him/her take a look at it. If this is not treated properly, it can cause some significant long-term problems due to the location you are describing.Health Question & Answer

Had some thing like that on my neck, lasted for years. Keep it clean, drained and disinfected.Health Question & Answer
