I have had a lump on my right buttock near the join with my leg for several years.  I consulted about it when I first noticed it and was told it wasnt a problem unless it became painful.   Last summer during a smear test the nurse noticed it and said I should consult again.   This I did and, although by then it was larger, I was given the same answer as above. It is now causing me some discomfort especially if I sit for a long time on a hard chair, but I can still manage the pain.   However, I continue to be worried about it as it is now quite large (completely cemetrical, probably about 3 cms across) and there is also a hard area under the skin.   However, it all feels quite loose and there is no puss.    Should I be worried about this and consult again, or not worry unless it becomes more painful?
Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. This is either a lipoma or a sebaceous cyst. It is better to get this removed (excised) for 2 reasons.1> your get rid of the disease and 2> you get the histopathological diagnosis-makes you tension-free. Request your Doctor for such a scar that does not lie on the pressure point, lest it be a flap surgery,
