Pain in the butt

I have that...literally. Ok, specifically it's in my right butt cheek.

For quite some time (years?), I noticed that I have this small painless lump there - a cyst as confirmed by doctor months ago. That's all well and fine until during the last weekend, I realised that it was now slightly painful, swollen and reddish. Doctor didn't know how it got infected but cautioned me to monitor closely because it could go deeper (my poor bum!).

So I was given antibiotic tablet, antiotic cream and omeprazole (since the tablet is very acidic and my stomach can't take acidic stuff) for a few days before going back for follow-up check. However, if the infected cyst grow bigger or become more painful or redder, I should see him immediately. Next couse of action would be surgery.

Koala Express,
But was yours infected?

It's not under my seat bone, thank goodness. It's a bit to the side. Still, it's painful regularly whenever I wear office pants...I guess any long pants.

Wow..did not know this is a common problem. My cyst got infected several times but after a few courses of antibiotic it pretty much recovered (right before I went to a surgeon too so what good timing!)

Lyssa,
For a long time, I believed. It was small and harmless. Yes, did see doctor and that was when he confirmed need surgery since the medication didn't seem to work. No-lah, don't think it's making worse.
