I have something really bad on my buttocks like 3 inches from my spot X (not ball bag side)but in the c"rack". I had to jam a pillow under my recliner seat to make it comfortable to sit down.;-(
Is there a cure or is it a trip to the doctor. The pressure seems to be building its pretty uncomfortable.
Im scared of going to the doctor ;-( seems so embarrassing but a common problem),

You will end with a waxed but!

All jokes aside Buster I am in the middle of a nursing degree at the moment and have just referred to one of my textbooks this is what you need to do
PERIANAL, RECTAL AND PILONIDAL

Anus and rectum

The main symptom in perianal septic conditions is throbbing, anal pain with or without fever.

Part the buttocks to inspect the perianal region, the natal cleft and the anal margin. A tightly closed anus suggests spasm, due to a painful anal condition. Palpate any lesions in this area.


Slowly introduce a lubricated, gloved finger into the anus with the palmar surface turned posteriorly. Palpate the posterior anal wall and any anal contents against the curve of the sacrum. Rotate the finger anteriorly to detect any bulge or tenderness suggestive of a pelvic abscess (Figure 5.49).

There - fixed it for ya.

I went to the doctor and got some antibiotics. I must of rang up about 4 surgeries and they were all booked. Doctors seem busy cause its flu season.


Cysts and abscesses (I'll use the medical term for boils) are both lumps or masses which may occur almost anywhere in the body or on the skin. Cysts may become abscesses. The basic distinction between the two is that an abscess is by definition a localized bacterial infection, whereas a cyst is an uninfected, fluid-filled mass.

They recommend not squeezing or touching them as the bacteria can spread into other follicles etc.

Buster try and think a little outside the square here. I know the Doc has probably thrown you off a bit but....

Where is the putrescence that is bursting forth from your body coming from, and more importantly why is it there?

ED Doctor here..

go see your doctor, might just need a needle in it, or a cross incision with a knife. Or it may be a pilonidal, if it's in the midline that'd be my bet. That will be not so much fun!

I like the bottle idea though!

Could be from a few thing a hair follicle or it could be from a blocked gland. I think mine is a hair follicle as i haven't experienced them before.
There are a few home remedies for keeping them away but not sure how effective they are. I hear 500mg turmeric tablets are good for prevention.

There is some good comments for a read on this site.

Apparently this is a large club. Glad to know I am not alone. In Feb I had a small bump that grew to the size of a grapefruit in my perirectal area. It caused me to go septic and I started to go into renal faliure. I tell you this because these infection pockets can be dangerous so please don't squeeze or play with them.


I know you children get them as-well. So a reference to that home remedy link.
